Automatic door locking
My wife had an incident whilst driving at night and it made us realise that our Yaris Cross didnt automatically lock the doors after moving off. Nothing in the manual but the internet gives two versions of how to activate the system (one using the setup screen and one using a system involving the lock/unlock buttons) neither of which apply to this car. The dealer is looking into the problem but suspects that automatic locking may not be available on my car. Has anyone got any information or a solution to this?
I believe that you would have to press the lock button each time if you want your doors locked.
I don't know what happens in the event of an accident. My previous car had automatic door locking which was connected to the airbags. The doors automatically unlocked if the airbags were deployed.

I think that now I have the definitive answer to this. The Yaris Cross does not have the option to lock the doors automatically. This seems a bit odd. Im sure that all the other cars that I have had has this option and the Yaris is packed with sensors and systems so why not link them up to allow this facility. Anyway, it is what it is.
I agree and think that the omission of this functionality is an oversight on Toyota's part
