Default RX 350 Back Door Auto-Locking

Today I bought a 2007 RX 350 and have a question regarding the back door. It seems that each time it needs to be opened, it has to be unlocked by the remote. Once unlocked the door opens fine both by the manual switch on the door, and also by the automatic door open/close button inside of the car. However, once the door is shut, I can hear the door lock and it cannot be opened by the physical switch on the lid.

Holding down the automatic open button on the remote opens the door regardless of whether it is locked or not locked.

Is there a setting I am not understanding, or is there is problem with the car? Help is MUCH APPRECIATED!

Check the manual - It may have to do with the child lock which usually can be set on/off from the side of the door.

I checked the child-safety lock, but it was not enabled. Also read through the manual, but I can't seem to find anything about this, in fact one section reads "The back door will not lock automatically after it has been opened and then closed."

Could this be a setting with the security system?

How far are you from your dealer? This has something to do with the LPS. Are you signed up with the Lexus Owners? It will tell you the LPS (Lexus Personalized Settings). A lot of the programmable items can be tailored to suit your needs.

Sign up if you have not done so.

Your dealer can re-program as you like, should be free of charge.
