Toyota Corolla — How to Set Auto Door Lock Behavior

You can control the behavior of the automatic door locking feature on the Toyota Corolla. Just perform these steps.

2. Do one of the following depending on how you want the auto lock system to function:
   • To make the doors automatically lock when shifting, shift the gear to “P” (you’re probably on “P” already), then press and hold button “Lock”  button on the door.
   • To make the doors automatically unlock when shifting, shift the gear to “P“, then press and hold the “Unlock” button on the door.
   • To make the doors automatically lock when the vehicle reaches 12mph, shift the gear to “N“, then press and hold the “Lock” button on the door.
   • To make the doors automatically unlock when the driver’s door is opened, shift the gear to “N“, then press and hold “Unlock” button on the door.
