any way to stop the doors from locking when I put my 4R into gear?

I'm capable of locking the doors myself

It's in the owners manual which is found here...or maybe in your glove box.

Is it really a big deal that the doors auto lock?

 

[opticsguy]

on my Audi's it was something you needed an OBD tool to change.

Why does it matter if you doors are locking when you go into gear?

Unless, of course, you ghost ridin' the whip...

You can set the following automatic door locking and unlocking functions.

(a) Locking linked with the shift position

All the side doors and back door are
locked automatically when the automatic
transmission selector lever is moved out
of the “P” position with the engine running
(including ignition switch in the “ON” position)
and all the side doors and back door are
closed. This function is the default setting
for new vehicles.

(b) Unlocking linked with the shift position

All the side doors and back door are unlocked
automatically when the automatic
transmission selector lever is moved to
the “P” position with the ignition switch in
the “ON” position.

(c) Locking linked with the vehicle speed

All the side doors and back door are
locked automatically when the vehicle
speed reaches 20 km/h (12 mph) or higher.
However, if any of the side doors and
back door is unlocked during driving, this
auto locking function will not operate until
the unlocked door is opened once.

(d) Unlocking linked with opening the driver’s door

All the side doors and back door are unlocked
automatically when the driver’s
door is opened within 10 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned from the “ON”
to “ACC” or “LOCK” position.

SETTING THE FUNCTIONS

1. Close all the side doors and back door.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
3. Within 10 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position;

To set function (a)

Push and hold the front of the power
door lock switch for 5 seconds with the
automatic transmission selector lever in
the “P” position.

To set function (b)

Push and hold the rear of the power
door lock switch for 5 seconds with the
automatic transmission selector lever in
the “P” position.

To set function (c)

Push and hold the front of the power
door lock switch for 5 seconds with the
automatic transmission selector lever in
any position except “P”.

To set function (d)

Push and hold the rear of the power
door lock switch for 5 seconds with the
automatic transmission selector lever in
any position except “P”.

All the side doors and back door are automatically
lock and unlock when you release
the power door lock switch. This
indicates that the function is set. If all the
side doors and back door do not lock and
unlock, the time the switch was held may
have been too short or too long. Perform
the procedure over again starting from
step 1.

If you want to cancel a function, repeat
the procedure. Each time you perform the
procedure, the function is set or cancelled.

Somewhere there's a thread with me posting this info. Also, these procedures work in reverse....

I had my 4r programmed to lock on speed using the Toyota computer tool.

Auto locking seems like a perfectly reasonable safety feature to me... is this just a control thing ?

 

[opticsguy]

I just wanted them to unlock when I put it into park. Programmed option B. great stuff

 

[toybox]

Changing the settings is a convenience thing for me. I used to have them lock when it went into drive and nothing when I put it into park. When I park in my garage no one can get in on the passenger side until I pulled out. For one, since they were always locked since the first time I put it into driveand then came home again the next time my kids went to get into the truck the back doors was always locked. Or if someone was getting into the passenger side they would wait until I pulled it out then start yanking on the door handle because the doors had locked. I changed to unlock when put into park and not lock until it gets to 12mph. This solved both of my minor annoyances with just a settings change. After all, that is why they make the different settings to begin with, people have different preference.
