Some may know this... and it may be in the manual, but I have not found it....
on my 13, you can lock the doors via the rear hatch opener. On the rubber hatch push button, to the right, there is a positive round dimple, this locks all the doors once the hatch is closed. So you can manually close the hatch, and hit that dimple, DONE, even faster than FOB. Not sure what year this became available.... but glad I found it...

That is what I do most days, but not as easy with your hands full!

I just looked at my 2010 and didn't see it but the garage was sort of dark still. Could you shoot a photo of the area?
Thanks

Jim, it's located about 1 inch to the right of the hatch rubber push-button (rear hatch open)... on the same rubber surface. You can feel the positive dimple with your fingertip... push it, doors lock when hatch is down.

Sorry. I fixed it, and it should be working now. That Dimple sized is right there, but I am not quiet sure how it work either. I know pressing it once the Trunk is down, it will lock all doors. But that mean you will still have to wait until the trunk is closed.

I still prefer walking away with the Fob, or doing both while you have the Fob in your hand. Press the Trunk Close button, and then Lock while walking away

OK, yea. I was looking in the wrong place. I was looking (when open) at the 'close' button. Sorry, I learned something new tonight .
