Avensis - Toyota Avensis Door locks - avensistourer

My car is a 2010 Toyota Avensis Tourer, manual. Can any of you Toyota owners out there please explain how I can keep the blooming doors unlocked. I mean, I stop the car, get out and go to open the rear door or the boot. I cannot keep them open. I have to manually flick the unlock button the driver's door. It's very annoying. Help !! ta

This one of several annoying features on the Avensis and its not covered by the 600 (!) page manual. I found that its related to the central locking button on the driver's door, if you press that (eg when in a dodgy area to stop anyone opening doors from outside) then you get the situation you describe. Its a few months since I found out online how to disable this feature but I can't recall where I found it. So don't give up there is an answer but darned if I can remember what it is!

I know !! It's such a pain. When the car gets to 12 mph the doors all lock. I live in South wales, but it's not that bad - honest... I mentioned mine is a manual as the system is apparently different with the automatic version.

Besides that, its a really good car, tyres expensive etc but a really good car. Thanks anyway....
