Automatic Door Locking....
Hello ES350 Owners,
I just purchased a new 2020 ES350 F-Sport. I used to own an 2006 IS250 and if I walked away from the vehicle after exiting the doors would automatically lock. I looked through the personalization settings online through the Lexus website and I didn't see that function. Can anyone tell me if this function is available?

Thanks Folks for all the replies. Yes, I went through the entire owners manual, contacted the salesman that I bought the car from and emailed Lexus who told me to refer to the manual and I couldn't find it. My 2018 Honda Civic Touring Coupe had that feature, I guess Lexus didn't catch on.

My lexus dealer told me this feature is not available on the ES. The latest rx350 has it though so i suppose with time it will become available. My previous vehicle was a buick regal tourx and that had it, so i often forget to lock my doors on the ES.

Every time I get a service loaner - ES or RX -- I discover that the car automatically unlocks all the doors when you turn it off. Every time, I go into the settings and fix it so that the doors stay locked. Whoever designs the Lexus electronics must live in a totally crime-free fantasyland.
