Yes, you have to use the computer diagnostic tool (like the dealer has). You can set the doors to 4 different options - see the owner's manual for a description of these.

Once the option is set, you cannot change it on the fly - must use tool again.

Using a PST2 or PIWIS tester:

Go to the Alarm Section -->Coding-->Version coding

Then choose based on:

Version 1 - The doors are automatically locked as soon as the ignition is switched on.

Version 2 - The doors are automatically locked if the vehicle exceeds a limit speed of 5 km/h.

Version 3 - The doors are automatically locked as soon as the ignition is switched on. If the doors are opened while the engine is running, automatic re-locking takes place if the vehicle exceeds a limit speed of 5 km/h.

Version 4 - The doors are not locked automatically. (default from factory)

Note: Automatically locked doors can be opened by pressing the central locking button (central locking switch) or by pulling on the door handle twice.

I had the dealer set mine to Version 2 at first service which was done on PIWIS at no additional cost .

I almost never think to lock the doors, and locked doors afford some additional crash safety - not to mention defending against carjackers. My wife would never think to do it.

A double pump of the inside door handle is no problem for me, altho I have seen complaints about it.
