does the car locks by itself!? how to set it on?
Hey guys,
I remember when I first got the car I'd go out to my parking lot and check it out every night. I remember after I unlock the TL with my remote, it would lock itself up automatically after a minute so if the car is untouched.
This past weekend, I unlocked my TL with remote and sat in without turning on the engine. The car did not lock itself up whatsoever after good 2-3 minutes! Then I was thinking maybe it is because the car knows I am in the car. The next day, I went to a restaurant and came out. My friend opened the door without me unlocking it! Basically it was sitting there unlocked, how is that possible? Doesn't the TL does it auto lock thing or did I shut it off accidentally??
Please tell me how to turn on that auto lock feature...thanks!

The car didn't lock when you got in because you opened the door to get in it. You can program the car using the MID. Just get the manual for the car, it's also in the quick starts pamphlet.

You can tweak the amount of time between when you unlock and the auto relock by accessing your keyless entry settings.

.:HALCÓN DE LA NOCHE:.
For about six months I thought my car was locking its self when I would get out of my car at work. I would walk away & think it would arm & lock its self. During those 6 months, the car was unlocked everytime. I found out the hard way when the same thing happened to you when a friend opened my door w/out me unlocking it. It seems the car needs to be armed first, then you disarm it & don't open the door...... it arms & locks itself to the programmed time you set it in the driver settings in the MID.

I have programmed my car to auto-lock. By force of habit, I still found myself using the fob to lock the car EVERYTIME after I shut the car door. Maybe it is good habit, regardless of modern technology.

The passenger door lock knobs/pins do not lock any other doors or arm the alarm.
Our Odyssey minivan locks also work this way.

I can't find anything in the manual on how to disable it, anyone have some good instructions or how to get to the 'keyless entry settings' as discussed earlier?

Got a free tank of gas and the oil change for free, so it wasn't that bad I guess.

There is no way for you to disable the security relock feature. The only control you have is the delay before the car re-locks. You can choose between 30, 60 or 90 seconds.
I don't see how the security re-lock feature can be locking your wife out of the car since the feature only works if you unlock your car with the remote and fail to open any of the doors...
As for accessing your keyless entry settings, use the info button located on the dash to the right of your steering wheel to toggle through your selections, press select when keyless memory settings are displayed, then tweak to your heart's desire.

Well, first off it's a 2000 TL, so the info button isnt there in that year, just searching the forums for the keyless lockout and found this page. What happens is that she unlocks it, opens the back passenger door to put out son in, throws the keys in the front seat [the mistake she's making] and then when the kids in, shuts the door to walk around to the drivers side..
Lets just say I've gotten pretty good at popping locks, it was either that or another $100 a month bill coming in!
