Hello,
I have had a 2005 Corolla for nearly two years and am wondering if
anybody can help me figure out how to:

a) turn off the automatic door-locking mechanism so that I control when
the doors lock
b) turn off the automatic lights so that (for example) when I'm parked
at night waiting the lights can be off even while the car runs - PS -
I'm not a stalker

Other than these things, the car is very good.
Thank you kindly!
-Andrew

Try Google and look up a 'user's group'. Often there are 'bulletin boards'
that have this kind of info.

That is, if it's not in the manual!

I believe that the dealer can program that function for you with their code
scanner.

Turn off headlight switch to the off position. The DRL's will still be on
but they will at least be a little dimmer.
