    Will the car lock itself after 1 hour on its own, or would you have to lock it before leaving?

    We have this feature in our 24 Corolla Hybrid and this is from the manual:

    ■Automatic hybrid system shut
    off feature
    ●The vehicle is equipped with a
    feature that automatically shuts off
    the hybrid system when the shift
    lever is in P with the hybrid system
    operating for an extended period.
    ●The hybrid system will automatically
    shut off after approximately 1
    hour if it has been left running
    while the shift lever is in P.
    ●The timer for the automatic hybrid
    system shut off feature will reset if
    the brake pedal is depressed or if
    the shift lever is in a position other
    than P.
    ●After the vehicle is parked, if the
    door is locked with the door lock
    switch (P.125) from the inside or
    the mechanical key (P.403) from
    the outside, the automatic hybrid
    system shut off feature will be disabled.
    The timer for the automatic
    hybrid system shut off feature will
    be re-enabled if the driver’s door
    is opened.

    So it sounds like it only works if you are sitting inside the vehicle.
