Initially I had challenges with close & lock.
It works if I press the close & lock button and get out of the way by stepping to the side.
If I take a couple steps back, the door will not close.
If I take a couple steps to the left or Right Side of the car, the door will close & lock all doors.

I noticed that in the manual that the 'close and lock - walk away' function can be turned off through a dealer only option. I still have three weeks before my 30 day personalization appointment so will try it for awhile longer before deciding. I never missed this safety feature with my previous RX.

I'm a little embarrassed to say for several days I pushed the close and lock button and wondered why the car just beeped at me....I figured it didn't work until someone mentioned (after laughing at me) that I had to walk away.
Looks like the Hands free close & lock (walk away) feature is defaulted to 'Off', so it only works via the button unless you have the dealer change the setting.
The button Close & lock (walk away) feature, as DaveDude said, is defaulted to 'On' but can be changed to 'Off', but not sure why you would do that...?

See page 769 in the manual for the options. Unfortunately this one is a dealer change only.

guys, we are talking about this hands free walk away features that must invovled the back door, or it just simple lock the car when we exit the car?
From the manual, all the walk away features are under the catagory of back door. So even i actviate the hands free walk away, what will be the difference, if not invovling the back door? Anyone had activated it?
