Odd issue...door locks not locking by proximity
My new to me Z06 is not locking when I walk away from the car. I have gone through the manual and I think I am missing part of the setup screen that allows you to turn on this feature. I see the option for delayed locking but that is all. My previous '14 never had this issue and I am not completely unfamiliar to the C7. Anyone else have this issue before I go to the dealer and ask for help? Doors lock fine with the key fob and unlock automatically with the fob in my pocket.

Yes, I am aware of that. Thanks. I'm serious, I am on my second C7 so I am pretty familiar with the car. I swear there were times that these options did not appear on the menu of a running car. I swear the car would also lose the setting and stopped locking the door when I walked away then I could not find it on the menu to restore the setting. This will be the second time I have set this up on this car.

Another reason I appreciate the knowledge here. I wasn't aware of this feature, yet everytime I walk away is a PITA to pull my fob and lock the doors.
I read the manual, yet missed this one!!!
I'm going to program this tonight.
Does the alarm arm, along with locking the doors?

Ok, I programmed the auto lock and IT WORKED PERFECTLY. I love this car more every day I drive it.
I am even getting to like the 1-4 shifting.
I know how to bypass it by changing up my driving style for the given moment, if I desire.
But, now that I don't need to fumble for the fob, this auto lock function solves a huge sense of frustration!
