Automatic Lock On Drive Away?

[CMarkC]

Hi there, I have an 05 GS 430 and wondered if it could be set to auto lock the doors on drive away?

The manual for the US model gives these instructions:

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING

You can select the following functions:

Locking linked with the shift position

All doors are automatically locked when the selector lever is

moved out of “P” position.

Locking linked with vehicle speed

All doors are automatically locked when the vehicle speed

goes above about 20 km/h (12 mph).

You can set or cancel the automatic door locking

functions:

Be sure to apply the parking brake when performing the

following operations.

To select the locking linked with the shift position:

1. Close all doors and select the engine switch in “IG-ON”

mode.

2. Shift the selector lever to the “P” position.

3. Within 10 seconds of selecting the engine switch in “IG-ON”

mode, press and hold the driver’s side power door lock switch

in the lock position for 5 seconds and then release.

The doors will be locked and unlocked to indicate that the

function is set.

To cancel the function, do the above operation again.

To select the locking linked with the vehicle speed:

1. Close all doors and select the engine switch in “IG-ON”

mode.

2. Shift the selector lever from “P” to the “N” position.

3. Within 10 seconds of selecting the engine switch in “IG-ON”

mode, press and hold the driver’s side power door lock switch

in the lock position for 5 seconds and then release.

The doors will be locked and unlocked to indicate that the

function is set.

To cancel the function, do the above operation again.

Whereas the UK manual does not have this entry.

I tried the above without success - is there a way of doing this on a UK car?

Cheers,

Mark

I was under the impression it was a dealer only set up, so twist their arm at your next service.
