2012 Sonata Door Locks

I sometimes start my car in my driveway to let it warm up but then can't lock the doors. I assume there is a way to let the car run while not in it but to get those doors locked - is there?

I don't know how the Sonata works specifically but on most cars you can lock the doors from the outside either manually with a key or via the fob. You might need to use the spare key/fob. The point being you have to "prove" to the car that you've got the ability to get back in.

You can turn off the automatic door locks, just refer to your owners manual as to how. I turned off my wife's on her 2012 SE cause I personally don't like them. It gives me a feeling of being trapped. Hyundai says in the owners manual that they should unlock in the event of an accident, but I don't trust it.

This is what I do too.
