Does the Toyota C-HR automatically lock the doors after exiting the vehicle?

Toyota C-HR does not automatically lock the doors after exiting the vehicle. Below is relevant information about car doors: 1. Opening methods: They are divided into conventional-opening doors, reverse-opening doors, and horizontally-sliding doors. Conventional-opening doors can still be closed by air pressure while the car is moving, which is safer, and it's easier for the driver to observe backward when reversing, so they are widely used; reverse-opening doors, if not closed properly while the car is moving, may be blown open by oncoming airflow, so they are less commonly used, generally only adopted to improve entry/exit convenience or for ceremonial purposes; horizontally-sliding doors have the advantage of being able to fully open even when the side of the car is close to an obstacle. 2. Composition: Car doors are generally composed of three parts: the door body, door accessories, and interior trim panels. The door body includes the inner door panel, outer door panel, door window frame, door reinforcement beam, and door reinforcement panel; door accessories include door hinges, door opening limiters, lock mechanisms, inner and outer handles, door glass, window regulators, and sealing strips.
I think the Toyota C-HR doesn't automatically lock the doors after getting out, at least my car doesn't have this feature. With plenty of driving experience, I can tell this car is equipped with a smart key system. When you get out and close the door properly, it won't lock automatically as you walk away with the key, unless you manually press the lock button on the remote. Once I forgot to lock it, luckily nothing was stolen. Now I've developed the habit of pressing the key to confirm it's locked after closing the door. If the key is left on the seat, the car might detect it and remain unlocked to prevent you from being locked out. This design is quite user-friendly, but don't expect it to lock automatically. Developing a checking habit is important.
As a parent who often takes children out, I pay special attention to door safety when driving the Toyota C-HR. This car doesn't have an automatic door-locking feature when exiting, so the remote is key. After you get out, if you don't press the lock button, the lights flash a few times to remind you, but it won't lock. Some people think high-tech should be fully automatic, but the C-HR is designed this way to avoid accidentally locking the keys inside. Last time I tested it—I left the keys on the passenger seat, closed the door, and waited ten minutes—it still didn't auto-lock. Always remember to manually press the lock button on the remote when exiting. Safety first!
I've been using the Toyota C-HR for a long time, and it doesn't have the automatic door locking feature when exiting the vehicle. Getting in relies on the smart key sensing to unlock the doors, but when getting out, you have to press the button to lock the car manually. Some people mistakenly think it locks automatically, but that's a misunderstanding—the car automatically shuts down the system when it detects the key is away, but it doesn't lock the doors. I've forgotten to lock it a few times, but the mobile app allows remote locking, which is quite convenient. In short, manual operation is more reliable.
