Anyone knows? If it doesnt, anyway to set it to auto lock?
Sometimes might get forgetful and forget to press the button.

Yes, i doubt walking away while leaving the engine on will ever happen.
But if the engine is offed, some might forget to lock it/press the button.
It'll be great if it auto locks after awhile

the car will not auto lock if u get out of the car n do not lock the doors. i do know that if u walk up to it, it will unlock the door for u, but if u do not open the door within 30 seconds or so, it will lock it back up again.
I wish it would auto lock if it does not sense the key fob within the car when I exit out of the car.

Guys, think about this for a minute
For those of us with a garage, what you are calling auto lock would be a pain in the butt
You can't remember to lock the car or turn off the engine when you leave
As it is my wife's ES is set up to lock all the doors when she starts moving. When she gets home and parks in the garage, three of her doors are locked. If I need to get something out of here back seat, I need to open the driver's door, unlock all doors, then go get what's in the seat. She feels safer with it that way. I don't have my F set up like that. My doors remain unlocked unless I lock them.

As to the ES auto locking--you can set the LPS so that the other 3 doors don't auto unock?? I have the same issue on my wife's Pilot, but not because of auto lock/unlock, but because she unlocks the car by pushing the fob one time for driver door only.

The IS doesn't have that, nor have my Honda, Acura or Saturn with OEM alarms. Again, I, personally, would hate this feature--the car sitting there in my garage locking itself when I go in the house, needing the key every time I need to get something out of the car.
