Your vehicle may have a feature called Walk Away Locking which works with the phone-as-a-key feature or with your key fob. This feature is designed to automatically lock your car doors when certain conditions are met.
For Walk Away Locking to work, it must be enabled. The ignition must be off, all the doors and the liftgate must be closed, and all keys, including phones used as keys, must be removed from the vehicle.
Once you turn the ignition off, close all the doors and either walk away or wait outside the vehicle, the doors will automatically lock within a few minutes. Your vehicle’s horn will also sound as a confirmation of the locking.
To control Walk Away Locking, you can use your vehicle’s touchscreen. Simply touch the vehicle icon in the upper left corner, press Settings, then Vehicle. From there, press Locks, Walk Away Lock, and then choose to enable or disable it. You can also control the horn alert by switching Audible Feedback on or off.
