is there a way to make my doors lock automatically when i leave the car. i could of swarn that my GS did this like 8months ago but its not the case anymore

I have some punk *** kids opening my doors late at night and going through my car. It turns out that my remote range SUCKS. i can be right in front of my GS and nada...changed the batteries and it still sucks

 

The only time the doors lock automatically is when the car is locked, you unlock it but dont open the door, then it locks them automatically. I dont know of any other way to do that!

 

there is no such settings for the gs as far as i know.

you can just push the lock button when you get out and close the door,t hen everything is locked

or just use the remote to lock the car once you get out? i am pretty sure the remote works well within 5 ft?

 

Just think about the first time you park in front of a restaurant and accidently drop your keys in the car while you turn around to get your jacket from the back seat. Then you get out and hear that 'click' and see that sexy black key sitting on the floor of the drivers seat where you forgot to pick them up.

 

my GS locks itself but only in this sequence

use remote to unlock door
i get in and drive
arrive at destination, turns off ignition and takes out key
open driver door only, get out and close the door
in 1 min or 2, the car will lock itself

dont be using the unlock button inside the car by the windows controls though

 

Henry, are you sure there isnt something like this in the c-best settings?

 

Can the GS be programmed to lock once you put in in drive??

 

My 02 430 locks itself up nice and tight right when the car is put into drive.

As far as self locking after you walk away, I dont know, I am **** and end up locking the thing like 4 times as I walk away (usually with a small tear in my eye)

 

well, actually i think some bmw has that "feature". imho definitely not something i want

interesting, maybe it's something for 01+?

all i can say is i am pretty sure there is no cbest settings on that for 98-00. 01+ they have a new computer so they have totally different (and much more choices) setup.

i don't think for 98-00 we have much choices on locking and unlocking of doors from best, which is avaiable on 01+

 

This works on most of all Lexus and Toyota's and if it doesn't work there is a way to engage it so that if you forget or think you've locked your doors the doors will automatically lock after 1 minute or so.

 

Pretty sure it is a C-best setting. We had ours changed so it locks at 12 or 18mph or whatever. Then it unlocks when put into park.

 

Hold your key against your chin and press.

No one understands why this works either.

It just does.

 

yeah like rominl said, might be a 01+ only feature in the c-best settings

heres the C-best setting for it

 

that's only for 01+

Not true, my 99 gs-3 does that, if I leave the car with out closing the door's they close automatically after about 20 seconds. Also my headlights would turn of by them self about 30 seconds after I would turn the car off, but after removing the + cable on my battery to clean the connection the settings got screwd up , I almost drained my battery after leaving the headlights on assuming they would just turn off.
