Not completely sure but I think that is a dealer programmable option, so your local indy might be an option for cost.

Taken from the UK forum.

1. Turn the ignition to the first point but don't start the engine.
2. Lock the doors by pushing in the short chrome lever above the drivers door handle, then pull the lever to unlock the doors. Repeat this sequence twice more.
3. Turn the ignition off and leave it off.
4. Lock the doors by pushing in the short lever by the handle, then pull the lever to unlock the doors. Repeat this sequence twice more.
5. Turn on the ignition again but don't start the engine. A ping should be heard.
6. Lock the door by pushing the lever by the handle, and then pull the lever to unlock the doors. A final double ping should be heard to indicate auto locking is enabled. If you've disabled the feature another ping will be heard when you drive off and exceed 4mph.

Not sure if it works for other market cars.

BRILLIANT!!!!!! it worked and yes mine is in the UK

if you dont mind i just want to add a couple of things as i got caught out on them - its not altering what you put its just adding

Taken from the UK forum.

1. Turn the ignition on so dash lights come on but don't start the engine.

2. Lock the doors by pushing in the short chrome lever above the drivers door handle, then pull the short or long lever to unlock the doors. Repeat this sequence twice more.

3. Turn the ignition off and leave it off.

4. Lock the doors by pushing in the short lever by the handle, then pull the short or long lever to unlock the doors. Repeat this sequence twice more.

5. Turn on the ignition again so dash lights are on but don't start the engine. (A ping should be heard)

6. Lock the door by pushing the short lever by the handle, and then pull the short or long lever to unlock the doors. STOP!!!!!! thats auto-lock disabled

If you've disabled the feature another ping will be heard when you drive off and exceed 4mph.

If your wanting to re-enable auto-lock you at this point Lock the doors by pushing in the short lever by the handle, then pull the short or long lever to unlock the doors and a final double ping should be heard to indicate auto locking is enabled.

Not sure if it works for other market cars.
