Kia Sedona door locks automatically after being unlocked with key fob on Kia Sedona

Some Kia Sedona owners report experiencing issues with the automatic locking features, noting that the doors will automatically lock if no door is opened within 30 seconds of unlocking. Additionally, they find that all doors lock automatically when the automatic transaxle shift lever is moved from the Park position to Reverse, Neutral, or Drive. While these features are intended to enhance vehicle security, some owners may find them inconvenient or confusing in certain situations.
