BMWs work the same way. It is a double lock arrangement on all four doors. Personally, I like it.

I'm not saying it's critical, it's just an annoyance and one that if I can fix, it would be one less annoyance to deal with. Often my wife and I are putting around town (well, I guess it's not "putting" when you're electric, is it?) and will drop each other off at various places. We're used to being able to just jump out of the car, and it's annoying to have to remember the extra step. Yes, I know you can do it manually or hit the button, but I also know that it should be possible to disable this feature then I don't have to worry about it.

So, I fixed one annoyance, I went looking to fix this one...and guess what! It's EASY!
1: Close all the doors
2: Turn the car on
3: Hold the door lock button for 5 sec in the lock position within 20 seconds of turning the car on
4: the hazards will flash once
You're done! No more auto-locking!

ALSO:
If you want to turn off the auto unlock when you turn the car off:
Do the same as above, but hold it in the unlock position for 5 seconds.

Does repeating each process "toggle" the mode to return to
the default mode (Auto-Lock, and Unlock at Off)?
Thanks,
I will use the Unlock-at-Park mode.

yes, its a toggle. The flashers will blink once or twice depending if you went from On to Off or Off to On.
It's page DLK 14 and 15 if you have the service manual.

Hmm, it seems the on/off can be set for both the auto-lock and the auto-unlock, but the actual behavior cannot be toggled without the consult so my previous statement about changing the auto-unlock feature was incorrect. Here is the text from the service manual. I bet you could schmooz the tech to switch the behavior though.

Don't forget about the meta programming mode - entered by putting your left foot on the gas while your right foot is on the brake, your right hand on the NAV enter button while backing at exactly 7.3 MPH - or consuming 52.7 watts of energy. When you do that the mirrors come together and you get lots of extra balls.

The car should shut off instantly the moment you touch that door handle, and the lock releases only when it stops..this is a drive-by-wire transmission, we need those safety interlocks more than ever.

The auto lock/unlock toggle procedure is in the owner's manual, it was one of the first things I did.

Personally I like auto lock/unlock, this way I don't forget to turn off the car. Also, when you park you can bypass P by simply turning off the car which will prompt the auto unlock.

Owners manual, or Service manual? I didn't see it in the owners manual, and turbo2ltr was referencing the Service manual (which I need to get a hold of, haven't had the chance to do so yet).
Thanks, turbo2ltr! Much appreciated! If my dealer can't figure it out, I'll forward him your info!

OK, I just want to clarify that I'm not QUITE as much of an idiot as I appeared to be. The OWNERS MANUAL only states how to disable the auto UNlock functionality, and does NOT explain how to disable the auto LOCK functionality. To disable the LOCKING when you go above 15 mph you have to read the SERVICE manual, not the owners manual.
However, it ends up being the same procedure, just using the lock button instead of the unlock button.
Just wanted to clear that up to save a [tiny] bit of face, and let future people know if they were like me and being a little thick-skulled.... :?
