Door locks locking on their own?
Today I was showing some family members my new xB and noticed I heard a "click". I noticed the door locks had locked. Funny thing I didn't have the keys with me. I went and got the keys and unlocked the doors. After in minute or so, again, "click" the doors locked again? And again and again. I thought this might be normal and never noticed it before? I thought what if my keys were in there! Anyway, it seems to be okay now.
Anyone else have this problem? I'm sure it must have been where I was parked or something?
Don't leave your keys in your car!

if you unlock the doors with the remote, but then don't open a door within like 45 seconds, they lock again on their own.
The doors aren't programmed from the factory to simply lock on their own though, unless you do it with the key or remote.
Did you get an aftermarket alarm through the dealership? Maybe they have it set that way, in which case you can have them adjust it.

If you have the scion security they will do that ... It's programed so that once you hit the unlock button, if you don't insert the key into the ignition in a certain period of time the alarm locks the doors and re-arms itself.... If you don't have the security system .. then I dunno... you're guess is good as mine...
I found out the hard way ... I unlocked my car ... talked to someone .. hoppped in my car, shut the door and the doors locks and the alarm armed itself then went off....
