Door Auto Locks Not Locking

[MHG]

So just drove my 2025 OR home from the dealership this weekend. Spent a couple hours going g through all the bells and who. I like the wallet key but went to set the doors to auto lock after 30 seconds and they just never lock.

My Honda locks the doors as soon as I walk away and gives me a beep. I walk away from the taco and wait and wait and it never locks. I going my Ouse and after a few minutes the app gives me a notification that my doors are un locked.

Went through all the settings several times. No mas.

There is no walkaway locking feature on the Tacoma

Yes I know that. The 30 second auto lock is not locking.

The only 30 second auto lock feature there would be is if you hit the unlock button and don’t open a door, as if the truck was already locked

So... mine were set at 60 seconds. After Googling around, this is what I found the feature does:

• How it works:
  If you unlock your Toyota vehicle and don't open a door within the set time (default is 60 seconds), the doors will automatically relock.

So there is no auto locking feature ? Wow, they have a "change your mind" feature but if you use your high tech key card in your wallet so you never need to carry keys, you need to hit the button before you close the door. Whats next Toyota, you bringing back the roll up/down window crank?

Nope, no walkaway auto lock. Took me a while to get used to after having it on my CX5. I'm used to just pressing the lock button on my way out now.

I do wish the Tacoma had auto locking as you describe, but I've found the locking and unlocking using only the exterior door handle a very convenient option. I didn't realize what was going on until I accidentally triggered it a couple times and couldn't figure out why, but you can actually lock the door by grabbing the door handle in a certain way. Here's an image of the appropriate spot in the truck manual.

All you have to do is close the door and then briefly use your thumb and forefinger to pinch the front end of the door handle. There is a little indent there so you know you're in the right spot, as shown in image 2 below. It may not be simply walking away, but it's still pretty quick.
