Door locks after 3 seconds of driving

[rsands1]

Ok guys I know this is a standard safety measure of some sort...but I kinda find it annoying that my SI locks all doors after about 3 seconds of driving. Is there any way to turn this off? Its just annoying when people try to get out and its always locked because it always locks itself. Also if I drive and need to get something out of the back door...its ALWAYS locked. Just wondering if there is any way to change this. Thanks in advance!

Yes it's in the owners manual. It locks after 10-15ish MPH. I left it on but just enabled to feature that automatically unlocks the car when the key moves from II to I.

Take a look at your manual. It'll show you how to set it to lock, or not lock. There's like five different settings, but that's off the top of my head.

Yah- it locks at 9mph

There is a way to change it. It details the exact steps how in the Owners Manual. However, I believe it has also been posted on this site. You could probably find the steps on here if you search.

If you can't find it searching, and if you don't have a manual I (or someone else on here) would probably be able to look it up in the manual.

Thank god I am able to turn that thing off lol. Its been bothering me ever since I got the car...my gf cant stand it because every time she goes to get out its always locked..and the locks are so small and black she can never find it lol. Everyone else in the back of the car can never find the locks either and they always complain how annoying it is. I have all the manuals in the car so tomorrow morning first thing im getting rid of that automatic lock for sure! haha

haha i have a weird story about y this is actually awesome and could save ur life. back when i had my 04 toyota camry (Floating POS), i went to a Target that was ryt next to the ghetto at night. when i was trying to leave and exit onto the main road, there was a bunch of traffic so i stood there for a good 10 minutes. then some weird homeless guy did wat i waited 10 minutes to do and dashed across the main road dodging traffic heading straight for my car. he was holding something in his right hand and when he got to my car he tried to get in through my rear driver door. i panicked and peeled out almost hitting two cars as i sped down the main road. anyways, the autolocking feature saved my life in my opinion, even though i might have overreacted.
but im sure theres a way to turn it off if u really want to.

I like the fact that it locks... makes me feel safe in a way. I programed mine so that both the drivers side and passenger side unlock when the key is turned off. I don't really find it a big deal to hit the unlock button if I want to keep my car running and get out for a minute.

You did this on an si? HOW

only the driver side unlocks when i turn it off.

I can totally understand all those other reasons for leaving the feature on. But I live in Hunterdon Country, NJ which is an extremely safe county so im not too worried. I mean I would normally lock it anyway when driving..I just want the option there to lock or not lock lol.

06 or 07?

i heard some say that only 07+ can do it. i know 100% ive done it maybe its in the full manual.

[Whocares05050]

08 sir

Ya take the auto unlock off. All the locking and unlocking like that is hard on the locking mechanisms. Just unprogram all of it.

I don't see why an '08 wouldn't be able to, my '07 FA5 can unlock all 4 doors when I turn it off. If you search the site for it you may be able to find a manual scan from the page about autolocks.

Yep did it on my Si... read it online, went out to my car on my break while @ work and did it in like 30 seconds lol. I hear it only works on the 07's though, but here's how I did it:

1. Apply the parking brake.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, and close the driver’s
door.

3. Push and hold the rear of the master door lock switch on the
driver’ s door. You will hear a click.
Continue to hold the switch:
Until you hear another click (after about 5 seconds) to activate driver’s door unlock
OR
Until you hear two more clicks (after about 10 seconds) to activate all doors unlock.

4. Release the switch and, within 5 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the ACCESSORY (I) position.
