Automatic locking system can be triggered by two buttons inside of vehicle. Also, this locks all doors in vehicle. Haven't contacted dealer yet. Automatic locking system easily engages with the motor running, locking keys inside. The dealer states that there should be an added safe guard against locking keys inside, particularly with motor running.
