Does the Camry have an automatic locking feature?

The Camry has an automatic locking feature. If no door is opened within 30 seconds, the car will automatically lock. It also locks automatically while driving. The purpose of the automatic locking function is anti-theft. The car locks quickly after driving to prevent door-pull robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, providing a certain level of security. The Camry is a model under GAC Toyota. The dimensions of this car are 4900mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2825mm. The 2021 Camry has added or upgraded multiple configurations. The flagship, luxury, and sport versions all feature an intelligent rain-sensing wiper. The luxury and sport versions are upgraded with a 9-inch color touchscreen display. A 10-inch color HUD head-up display system shows navigation paths and other information, and an onboard voice navigation system has been added. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is an E-type multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 178ps, a maximum power of 131kw, and a maximum torque of 210nm, paired with a continuously variable transmission.
I remember the days driving a Camry, the standard version indeed didn't have an auto-lock feature. Every time after parking, I had to manually press the remote lock button—it couldn't automatically lock when walking away like some trendy cars. This design was probably to avoid accidentally locking the keys inside, a pretty common hassle. Honestly, manual operation was quick enough, and once it became a habit, it wasn't an issue. The Camry itself was reliable, fuel-efficient, and spacious—these strengths outweighed the minor inconvenience. If you wanted to cut corners, aftermarket accessories could add a semi-automatic effect, but I'd recommend manually checking for safety. After all, driving safety comes first—don't take risks just to save a little effort.
