For those of us who don't have a family, I see your point....but I think if (for example) a parent is doing errands with 2 kids in a Yaris Sedan or 5-door liftback I can see the advantage.

Hi There,
So I am new to this site and found my via Google while hunting to see if Toyota has an official bolt-on turbo for the 2012 Yaris. Anywho onto the question in this thread... I was told by the Sales Rep as were other Toyota buyers that Toyota had a lawsuit in Europe over the auto lock feature (details are fuzzy even Google seems not to know) that they lost and made the decision from a safety aspect to remove the feature. The Toyota Hilux double cab being made this year even has this feature missing. /Will be making a thread about my Yaris 2012/13 issue shortly which I am hoping someone will be able to help... :) |

year later response~ I'm from SoCal. the way I've always seen it, if you're willing to try and steal a moving car, or a stopped one that's running (such as mine while I am in it), you are taking the risk of getting your ass ran over. Regardless of me possibly getting arrested ;p this also applies to people attempting to take my said belongings if I am in said car. Cars are dangerous, and should be seen as such. Pedestrians should take more care in my opinion. This includes me when I am one also :) I do understand the idea of auto locks....but at the same time....the real purpose eludes me. I do however,quite like how my 2013 will not let me lock the doors if the car is off and the key is in the ignition. Now that's a smart feature. lol. |

If you are really, really want that feature (and did i say really?), any aftermarket alarm has that feature (of course, if you have central locks on all four doors). Yes, this voids the electrical warranty in some countries like ours, but at least you scratched that itch.
