I got this 2001 IS 300 used about a month ago and the doors don't lock automatically like I would expect they would, either with the gear shift or with the speed. Is this normal?

I would have thought that they would have this feature in a Lexus.....I know toyota's have it.

Thanks for your help.

the car just doesn't have this feature, that's the bottom line. on newer lexus (or other models) they have it, but not on the is300.

I believe the auto locking features are only available on 04+ IS300s. My door locks are set to lock automatically when the car drives over 12mph. You can also set it to auto lock with shift position, etc.

Yeah and thats only for auto the 5speed doesnt have this option. But an 01 can be set where te doors unlock when you open the door you have to go to a dealer for that.

At least some Lexus and Toyota models use this procedures. I suggest you try it:

Automatic door locking and unlocking functions:

You can set the following auto door locking and unlocking functions.

a. Locking linked with the shift position.

All the side doors and back door are locked automatically when the selector level is moved out of the P position with the ignition switch in the "On" position. This function is the default setting for new vehicles.

b. Unlocking linked with the shift position.

All the side doors and back door are unlocked automatically when the selector level is moved to the P position with the ignition switch in the "On" position.

c. Locking linked with the vehicle speed.

All the side doors and back door are locked automatically when the vehicle speed reachs 20 km/hr (12 mph) or higher. However, if any door is unlocked during driving, this auto locking function will not operate until the unlocked door is opened once.

d. Unlocking linked with opening the driver's door.

All the side doors and back door are unlocked automatically when the driver's door is opened within 10 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from "On" to the "Acc" or "Lock" position.

Setting the functions

1. Close all the side doors and back door.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the "On" position.

3. Within 10 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the "On" position;

to set function "a"

Push and hold the front of the driver's side power door lock switch for 5 seconds with the selector level in the "P" position.

to set function "b"

Push and hold the rear of the driver's side power door lock switch for 5 seconds with the selector level in the "P" position.

to set function "c"

Push and hold the front of the driver's side power door lock switch for 5 seconds with the selector level in any position except "P".

to set function "d"

Push and hold the rear of the driver's side power door lock switch for 5 seconds with the selector level in any position except "P".

All the side doors and back door automatically lock and unlock when you release the power door lock switch. This indicates that the function is set. If all the doors do not lock and unlock, the time the switch was held may have been too short or too long. Perform the procedure over again starting from step 1.

If you want to cancel a function, repeat the procedure. Each time you perform the procedure; the function is set or cancelled.
