I know it is easy to lock from the master switch on the driver's side
console, but I had this auto-lock feature on my dodge minivan and really
appreciated it.

It was nice in case any of the passengers forgot to lock their doors.

Like I said, easy to do from the master console, but a nice little touch
that I appreciated on the dodge.
