Toyota RAV4 cannot be set up for automatic locking as this model is not equipped with the automatic door locking feature while driving. The Toyota RAV4 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1685mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2660mm. It features a four-wheel drive system. The Toyota RAV4 is powered by two engines: a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine. The 2.5L engine delivers a maximum horsepower of 178hp and a peak torque of 221Nm, with maximum torque output between 3600 and 5200 rpm and maximum power at 5700 rpm. The 2.0L engine produces a maximum power of 126kW and a peak torque of 209Nm, with maximum torque output between 4400 and 5000 rpm and maximum power at 6600 rpm.

I've been driving the RAV4 for several years, and setting up the auto-lock feature is quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat and close all doors to ensure no interference. Without pressing the brake, press the start button twice to illuminate the dashboard and enter the ready state. Then, press and hold the driver's side door lock switch—the one with the lock symbol—for about 5 seconds. The dashboard indicator will flash or you'll hear a beep, indicating the setup is successful. This feature is super practical; the doors automatically lock after the vehicle starts moving, preventing accidental openings or theft, which is especially reassuring during frequent stops in city driving. For older RAV4 models, the operation might slightly differ, so it's advisable to check the user manual or consult a 4S store if needed. Since enabling this feature, driving has become much more worry-free, significantly boosting safety.

As a safety-conscious driver, the RAV4's auto-lock feature has helped me avoid many risks. The setup is quick: close the door after entering, press the start button twice to reach the ON position. Then hold the door lock button for a few seconds until the dashboard displays a confirmation prompt. Once activated, the doors automatically lock when the vehicle moves, preventing accidents from unlocked doors—especially reassuring when children are onboard. For theft prevention, it minimizes human oversight. If unresponsive, check if your vehicle supports this feature or consult the manual for model variations. I always enable this setting for safer journeys.

As a daily driver, the auto-lock feature has made things much more convenient for me. Simple steps: get in the car and close the door, press the start button twice without stepping on the brake. Then hold down the lock button for about 5 seconds until you hear a beep. After starting, the car automatically locks, eliminating the need for manual operation each time, which is quite hassle-free. It's especially reassuring when driving frequently in the city with frequent stops, reducing the risk of forgetting to lock. If it doesn't work, check the manual or try resetting.
