Touch handle to lock truck tip

[Nacho Tachomo]

I just discovered that when I exit the truck and close the door if I touch the left side of the handle (there is some design thing there) it locks the truck so I don't have to use the key button. Handy when usually my Keys are always in my pocket or bag since it's keyless start.

Does everyone else have that? Dealer didn't even know about it.

The two grooves on the left side of the handle are the sensors to lock they are on the top and bottom.the inside black strip is the sensor to unlock grab the handle to unlock pinch the grooves top and bottom to lock Pinch twice to lock and turn lights off.

So I can walk up to your truck and unlock it with my fingers?

Or does it have to read the chip in your pocket or your bag...

It's fob relations.

I wonder if any of this is in the manual.

If the local dealer didn't know about it, it's in there.

People would rather come to Tacoma forum than read their manuals.

That's why we are here.

You can also change in the setting menu of the entune system is you want it to lock/unlock just the driver door or all the doors
