I would have thought the auto lock system would have been able to determine that the ignition was on or at the very least that the accessories was on... weird.

Not true on the upgraded power package. Mine has the chip in key. Quite nice actually. Like my ol' Scion Tc.

Our Yaris auto locks itself as well if you unlock the doors and then don't get into the car for 30 seconds.

This can be annoying when washing the car or doing maintenance.

i think this what might have happened, keyless click once - opens driver. started engine, closed door. now all is locked.

since then i've trained myself to, warm my car up then click the unlock all doors before leaving/closing the car. also a spare key is accessible
