Default Door auto-lock issue in my 2016 model Mazda-3 (Australia)

Hi All,

I’ve got Mazda 3 (2016 model, SP25GT) recently.
I’m facing an issue. I expect all 4-doors to get locked as soon as I start driving or within 30-seconds after I start driving. But it doesn’t, and I’ve to lock it manually. Is there a way this can be done? I do not see any such settings - attaching image of settings options.
Kindly advice what could be done to achieve auto lock?

Thanks.

Scroll menu and press Reset or disconnect battery for a few minutes and check if AutoLock returns. I'm not 100% sure but AUTO DOOR LOCK MODE is probably missing in your car because of some regulations or laws in your country.
To enable it, you would need Forscan and a ELM327 with HIi/Lo switch.

LOL I guess if you ask the same question EVERYWHERE you are bound to find the answer that works?

I see this so often it makes me smile!

I should point out this is an example of some things on the internet that get counted as multiple times instead of a single person. Like say the TSB BS on all the forums or Mazda soul red paint .. LOL You get 1 person that post on all 5 or 6 Mazda forums several times and they count x 6 reports of a concern. Now if a dozen other individuals do the same reporting you now have 72 reports on the internet and it continues to exponentially grows with inflated information. LOL
