Lock and walk away feature
I have found this feature to be very unreliable. When it works, I hit the lock button and hear one beep and then the count down time starts with slow single beeps. When it fails I get the one single beep then two quick beeps and nothing happens. No idea why it fails? Key is in pocket and all doors closed. Dealer has no idea.
Any idea on what the 2 beeps means?

When I get the two beeps it's usually because the key is just a bit too far away, or my foot is under the bumper. The kick sensor can't detect you and the vehicle has to think the key is right next to the rear hatch for it to activate.
I just turn sideways so I'm clear of the bumper and the key (which is in my side pocket) is closest to the vehicle... Then it activates.
I've also found I need to walk away to the rear for it to reliably complete the operation, once activated. If I walk towards the front of the vehicle sometimes it will cancel. If I need to end up near the front then I've learned to take a "J" path where I first walk away then curve around back to the front once I'm clear of the vehicle.

2024 RX 350h - KeyFob auto lock when walking away?
Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to program the 2024 RX 350h to automatically lock the doors when you walk away with keyfob in pocket. The Lexus dealer is telling me this is NOT possible. They say I must use the Lexus App to lock the doors remotely (subscription required at the end of the trial period).

This was added to the Collated listing of additions we'd like to see to Lexus multimedia a while back.
