Is there an autolock setting?

I offer this post as I don't understand how the following could happen
At the hand car wash. Car turned off. Key fob in car. Somehow the car doors locked. I was under the impression the the doors will not lock if fob is in the car. I always talk the key with me if I leave my gob with anybody, valet, car wash ect. I had to unlock it with the key. Door would not even open I tried to touch the door handle. I know my 2013 es300h would not allow me to lock the keys in the car.

Anyways - a girl can hope. I still haven't figured out half the features of the car and it was worth asking.

A simple habit that has always worked for my wife and me is that once the engine is off and all the doors that will be opened have been opened, we just automatically press the door lock button in the drivers door and all of the doors then lock when closed. This way you don't have to remember to pull out the key fob each time.

For me, the easiest way to lock the doors has been just to touch the dimple on the exterior door handle. It is simple. It doesn't require me to pull out the fob, and it is an easy habit to get into. In fact, I got into the habit of doing that so quickly that, when I'm driving my GX, when I get out of the vehicle, my hand reaches to touch the dimple (which it doesn't have) on its door handle, and I briefly wonder why the doors didn't lock.

I just discovered yesterday that I can lock one key fob in the car by using the 2nd fob to remotely lock the doors.

When I got my pre-delivery orientation to the vehicle, I was told by the dealer's delivery specialist to make sure not to leave a fob in the vehicle because, when a fob is in the vehicle, there is continuous communication between the fob and the vehicle, and, if a fob is left in the vehicle over an extended period of time, that communication can drain both the vehicle's battery and the battery in the fob.

On the other hand, if you happen to leave your keys sitting on the seat or elsewhere inside the vehicle, it would still be possible to lock your key/fob in the car.

@lesz, when I tried locking the doors using the door button yesterday, it seemed to actually arm the vehicle. I say that because when I returned to the vehicle and grabbed the door handle it beeped twice when it unlocked the doors.
