    How to lock all doors automatically if I forget to use the remote or the sensor in the door handle.

    I'm sorry, I'm not really understanding the question, do you mean how do you lock the doors automatically or were you telling us how to?

    Or, where you asking if the doors lock automatically after you leave the car unlocked and walk away?

    Yes, I would like to know in case I forget to lock the car, is there a way so that the car lock itself?

    I saw in the owners manual that there is a way using the "Display Audio System" so I will read that manual and post later

    I think you might be thinking that if you have unlocked the doors but do not open them, the locks will relock automatically within 60 seconds. I could be wrong.

    Yes, thats true and I tested in my prius and its working fine, what i saw in the manual is the "Speed-detecting automatic door lock function" its off by default, I turn it on but this function does not imply on my question, I guess its not possible like you guys said, thanks anyways for your responses

    My gen 2 prius locks itself If you leave it unlocked for 2 mins or so.. No alarm or anything aftermarket. Won't lock of keys in the ignition slot.

    Mine does that as well as long as you dont open any doors, but once u open a door it will not lock itself.

    Mine does it, open doors or not.. Maybe it's a flaw.. Sometimes it's inconvenient.

    We had a 2002 Bravada that once you left the car (no key left in ignition) it would lock itself in 1 minute unless you opened a door before the time limit was up - sometimes inconvenient when trying to get groceries from it :)
