25 Mav Hybrid.....Even thou there is a setting on the far right screen to disable the doors locking when you hit 12 mph and open back up when you put truck in park....it doesn't work...then the dealership said it's on the steering screen but when you go there there is only 1 entry under door locks this about the toeing???? So question is it possible to disable this annoying setting? Thanks.

Are you saying you don’t want your truck to lock at 12mph or it isn’t reopening and you have to unlock manually?

Correct..I don't want truck to lock at all while driving. It locks automatically when you hit 12 mph and unlocks when you stop and go in park...I don't want that and the setting does not make that happen..I think it's the 1st option in far right screen that from what I read is supposed to do just that.

Never tried. I kind of like that option. I have four kids under 7 ha ha.

I do not believe that there is a way to disable the speed triggered locking feature.
You can customize the unlocking feature. Whether you want all doors unlocked or just the driver's door to unlock when you stop and put the vehicle in park and open the door.

Mine locks while driving, but doesn’t unlock at a stop, both of which I prefer. Their settings for these buried somewhere.

This is on rear doors for child locking unlocking. I'm not sure if it only affects the inside lever or both inside and outside as I have not used it!
Use ignition key or screw driver in the white plastic slot.
See if this is what you want. The 12 mph lock is a safety feature for collision.

That is the child safety lock that only controls the inside door handle of the rear doors. It actually has no interaction with the locking mechanism of the door at all. When that is "locked", it disables the inside door handle therefore requiring parents to open the door from the outside only.

I been thru all the menu's a dozen times and see no way to do it.

Try this.
Unlock Mode Switch: Press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the remote control for 3 seconds to switch between unlocking only the driver door or all doors.

Am I understanding you correctly that you DO NOT WANT the doors to lock EVER? If so why? Let me guess the old fear of being trapped in a burning car and can't unlock the door. I have to say never in over 50 years of driving have I needed to open the door while going over 12 mph and jump out. But if I did the door will unlock with a flip of the manual lever that others use to lock themselves out of the truck.

I want the doors to lock and unlock when I either select the button on the door or with my key fob and not when moving 12 mph and again when I put car in park.

There is no way to stop the truck from locking automatically when you are driving and reach a certain speed. It's page 69 in the PDF manual.

The only related setting is for auto UNlocking when you stop and open the driver's door. You can disable that.

Then my thought would be to just unplug the auto door lock control inside the door
