Default How to lock Fuel Door?

I'm able to open my Fuel Door and unscrew my gas cap even though the car is locked...my keys are not even anywhere near me, it's in the house.
How do I make it lock when I also locked my doors?
Tried looking in the Infotainment system, didn't see anything.
Do I have to take it to dealer for programming?

Car is 2015 GS 350 F Sport RWD.

weird... Fuel Door should lock when you lock your GS...

There is no settings in Infotainment system for it... You got me thinking to check my GS too

My fuel door is locked if the car is locked. Never had an issue.

Do you hear a sound coming from the lock actuator for the gas door when you lock and unlock the car?

Leave the gas door open... lock and unlock the car. You should see the latch pop in and out.

Nope I dont see the latch moving at all. I guess I need to take it in for repairs. Thanks!

Yep. Sounds like you're due a trip to the dealer. Here's for point of reference.

Unlocked
Locked
