I'd look at that manual one of these days. I don't want the locks to
do anything by itself, lets just say I'm used to the good old days and
locks are operated manually. My 07 has no keyhole on the front
passenger side and I feel bad not to open the doors for my wife the
old fashioned way and when I go to my door she opens it for me.

One of the modes is "OFF" in which the car does nothing about the locks.

I dont drive a new car dayle but.... When did these features stop being about
child safety and preventing passengers from opening doors when they
could get hurt.

BTW: Maybe it's just because I do not have kids but... Auto Locking my
doors seems to be about even on the pro/con list to me.

I agree, it's kind of dangerous to have the door unlocked when shifting into
P (which is the default setting on new car). That's why I reprogrammed it to
unlock when the engine is turned off. It's kind of useful for me because I
often forget to unlock the door before trying to open the door which may
damage the lock and cause it to lock up, at least that's what happened to my
old Camry.

Unlocking is much simpler action than opening the door. it doesn't add much
more safety. But I agree unlocking locks when shifting into P is a bad idea.

Whenever we change the setting, the driver has to adjust as well. I
mean, what I do is open the door and sit to start my engine so it
warms up and close the door and go away. If the system locks when you
start the engine, the engine will run with all the doors closed and
nobody is inside. But that's just me.

So going back on the manual, it is the vehicles owners manual? or
repair manuals??
