Setting the automatic door lock for the Corolla is actually quite simple. As someone who has driven a Corolla for five years, I'm very familiar with this. First, get in the car without pressing the brake pedal, then press the start button twice to power up the dashboard. Next, locate the settings menu on the central control screen, select the door lock option in the vehicle settings, and you'll find the 'speed-sensitive auto lock' feature. After enabling it, the doors will automatically lock when the speed exceeds 15-20 km/h. Newer models also allow you to set the auto-unlock feature when the engine is turned off, making it more convenient to open the doors automatically when shifting to P gear. Keep in mind that the menu location may vary depending on the model year. For my 2018 model, it can be set using the steering wheel buttons. If you can't find it, you can always visit the dealership, where the technician can set it up in a minute using a diagnostic computer, but this feature is easy enough to do on your own.

I've been using my Corolla for three years, and the auto-lock function is a must-have for peace of mind. After powering on the car, simply operate the center console screen and select the door lock settings in the vehicle settings menu. Just turn on the speed-sensitive lock function—it's so easy you don't even need to check the manual. The key is to ensure the car is powered on and in P gear; the engine doesn't need to be running. After setting it up, remember to test it by driving a short distance—success is confirmed when you hear the lock engage. Older models might require using the dashboard menu for setup, and pre-2016 models need you to press and hold both the unlock and lock buttons simultaneously. However, the 14th-generation Corolla handles everything through the screen. With this feature, doors automatically lock while driving, so you don’t have to worry about someone suddenly pulling your door open at a red light.

Just helped my mom set up the auto-lock feature on her Corolla. After getting in the car, press the start button twice to power on, then tap the vehicle settings icon on the center screen to enter the menu. Find the door lock option to enable speed-sensing locks - beginners should remember to set this before closing the doors. The new Corolla also lets you choose parking unlock modes; I selected automatic unlock when shifting to P gear as the most convenient option. The manual states locks engage above 20km/h, but in testing they started working at 15km/h. If the touchscreen freezes, just reboot and try again - no need for a special trip to the dealership. After setup, took her for a test drive - the doors automatically locked within two minutes of city driving, which is super convenient.
