but in order to be able to do that i would need to do it through the trip computer rite? it takes me to da lock/unlock options but when i try to do go inside these options the computer shows me a (!) mark.

 

Don't worry about speed sensitive locking, speed is so slow where you live so your car will never lock! LOL! Haha, I'm Just kidding yaar! My roots are from India so I'm just teasing ya! But yeah we don't have speed sensitive locking, just moving in/out of shift gate auto locking.

good one dude! i'm sure u're aware of the average speed on the roads n dhk. however, i don't even seem to be able to activate the shift gate auto locking option either. the trip computer isn't allowing me to do that.

 

Just a dumb question. Are you trying to program this with the car in anything but park or is your car a manual? Also, in the US spec. cars we have two buttons on the steering wheel that we use to navigate through the menu on the trip computer and it is slightly confusing at first when trying to program anything. Not sure what the exclamation point means though.

my car's an automatic. what i would ideally prefer is da computer to lock da doors da moment i put da shift lever to either R or D or automatic locks to kick in once da speed went beyond 15/20 km/hr; and unlock automatically when i put da shift to P. there's only one trip button on da steering wheel. i guess dats da difference between da asian version and da us version. da us version also comes equipped wid bluetooth connectivity but da asian version apparently does not.

Hi, what page in the owners manual (in the US) does it talk about options you have on the auto door locks. right now, mine is set to lock when taken out of park and unlock when put back in park. I would prefer a speed setting where it locks when I hit 15 MPH and then unlock when I turn the car off.

Thanks,!

 

On the trip computer it allows you to set it for shift or for speed. I set mine for speed but I haven't tried it out yet to see if it works.

i have gone through the owner's manual and you have rightly mentioned the excerpts from the manual. However, the moment I try and access the Auto Lock and Unlock options in the trip computer I am shown a (!) mark and not allowed to customize the settings. To be honest with you it is quite baffling to have the options in the computer but not be able to customize the same according to your needs. The dealer here isn't much help either. They have just brushed it off saying that the option is not available in this particular lot. My bone of contention is that if the trip computer has the options, then I should be able to activate them if the dealer programs it for me, but I don't think I'll have any luck on that front.

As a prestigious Hyundai user I am kindly requesting for the advise from the Hyundai Korea, how this happened to my car and also for some other cars in that batch. Whether it is manufacturing defect? I think this may be the defect of the lock unit supplied by external supplier to Hyundai.I wish to add this option to my Sonata.
Please note that MAY2010 and OCT2010 makes has auto lock feature.
The Chasis no: of my Sonata 2011 is Make DEC2010.

The dealer in UAE, Juma Al Majid is helpless because still they could not find why some cars is missing of the feature(Door Auto lock) in the same batch & category of sonata 2011 Type 12. They told they will contact Korea HQ. Still no answer. That is the reason I am posting my request in available Hyundai chats.As an prestigious Hyundai user, I need to know why this kind of mistake happens for Hyundai, even having the high quality control standards.I wish to fix this problem at any cost.

Hi Zubair,

I am facing the same problem with the auto lock feature. Did anyone from Hyundai get back to you on how to solve it?

 

Hi Zubir, FYI this auto lock/unlock features only available if your car have the side/curtain airbags as standard.
