Shift the gear to the P position, turn the key to the ON position, close all four doors, press the lock button, and observe the hazard warning lights on the instrument panel flashing twice to complete the operation. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 again, and the arrow warning light will flash once to deactivate the automatic door locking function.

Setting the automatic door lock for the Asia Lion while driving is actually quite convenient. I just helped my brother-in-law set this up a couple of days ago. First, don't start the engine—just turn the key to the ON position to light up the dashboard. The easiest way is to operate it directly through the central control screen. Open the main menu, find the vehicle settings icon, then select the door lock option. There, you'll find a switch for the automatic door lock while driving. Make sure all the doors are properly closed, as setting it with doors open might not work. After setting, you can test it immediately: shift to D gear, gently press the accelerator to reach over 15 km/h, and if you hear a 'click' sound, it means it's successful. The interface of the central control might vary slightly depending on the model year. If you can't find it, the owner's manual in the glove box or trunk definitely has illustrated instructions—just flip to the electronic equipment section and you'll see it.

Tech-savvy individuals tend to focus more on the underlying principles: The auto-locking feature is triggered by the speed sensor activating the door lock module. During setup, ensure the gear is in P position, access the vehicle menu on the central control screen, and locate the auto door lock option under security settings. The system may require up to 30 seconds to respond – it's advisable to lower the windows to clearly hear the locking sound for verification. Some base models require a button combination setup, such as simultaneously pressing the lock and unlock buttons on the door for 10 seconds after power-on; success is indicated by two flashes of the hazard lights. The critical factor is confirming the vehicle is in full power-on status with battery voltage no lower than 12V, which can be monitored via the voltage reading on the small display to the left of the instrument cluster.

The most straightforward way is to set it via the center console screen: After powering on, tap the gear icon at the bottom of the screen, then swipe to the third page to access the vehicle customization menu. The new Asian Lion here also offers two auto-locking modes to choose from. The standard mode activates when the speed exceeds 20 km/h, while the child safety mode locks immediately upon shifting to D gear. Don’t forget to tap the save button in the upper right corner after selection—a small green lock icon will light up on the dashboard to confirm activation. To test, simply reverse out of the parking spot and then drive forward; a short drive around the neighborhood will suffice—no need to hit the main road. After setting, it’s advisable to check if the rear door child locks are also engaged for added safety.

Safety comes first! Before setting, ensure all four doors are tightly closed, and the key must be inside the car. When accessing the central control settings, avoid stepping on the brake pedal to prevent accidentally starting the engine. After enabling the auto-lock feature, it's best to test it by pulling the door handle: the doors should not open from inside or outside when the vehicle is moving. If it fails, check if the door sensor is obstructed by floor mats or if the remote key battery is too weak. Remember, the auto-lock and crash auto-unlock systems are interconnected. During maintenance at the dealership, ask them to test this module for free, as it's crucial for escape safety.

I've taught quite a few ladies to set up this feature, and the simplest method is to remember three steps: power on and look at the screen → tap vehicle settings → turn on the auto-lock switch. Toyota's center console interface is very intuitive, with icons featuring three-dimensional car shapes. If the screen's tempered glass protector causes glare and makes it hard to see, you can also use the directional buttons on the right side of the steering wheel: press the left/right buttons to switch to the settings page, use the up/down buttons to select the door lock option, and press OK to enable it. After setting it up, test the remote key—the standard setting is two beeps when locking the car; one beep might mean the feature isn't fully activated. Also, avoid using a high-pressure water spray on the door handle gaps when washing the car, as it can easily damage the sensors.
