Just got my FE and loving it, but I’m having an issue with the rear hatch close and lock button. If I push the close button, it closes perfectly without issue. If I push the close and lock button, it makes a beep sound and does nothing. Do I have a defective close and lock button or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
Question about rear hatch close and lock button.

Are other doors open? Where is the vehicle key? The doors need to be closed and the key on your person.

All the other doors are closed and the key is in my pocket. It should sense it just like when I touch my driver’s door handle to lock it.

Reading that manual page, I wonder if the walk away function is accidentally enabled?

Not sure, but your dealer should be able to get it to operate how you like.
Have you figured anything out with this. I am intermittently experiencing the same issue
I dont think this has to be programmed by the dealer. This button worked for me in the beginning. Then it just all of the sudden did not work anymore. It would beep and do nothing. All the doors were shut.
I fixed it temporarily only via my Carista Evo OBD2 scanner (there was a door error and I cleared it and it worked again). It worked again only for a short stint and now doesnt work like it did. Im about to hook up the scanner again to see if the fault is back.

If it just beeps at you......
If the close button works and the close and lock doesn't...... it might be as simple as the fob isn't in range of the antenna.
If the close button doesn't work ...... it may be as simple as recalibrating the sensor, to recalibrate, simply manually push the hatch closed and then open it with the hatch button/fob or dash button.
So coming back to this. I ‘think’ Ive found the cause to intermittent button functionality (the right button that closes AND locks all doors).
So all doors must be closed of course. Key fob also needs to be on your person.
Now, when I stand a couple feet back from the door when its opened and push the right button, it just beeps. BUT, every time I stand literally underneath the door and press the right button, it closes and locks the doors without issue. The sensor is sensitive obviously. Hope this helps.

It has to be programmed by the dealer, just like the memory seating. But if you Google it, you might find an answer. I accidentally programmed mine and it now works but I'm not sure of the sequence I went through. Start by holding down both the lock and unlock buttons on your fob until the car beeps. After that I'm not sure but I know I also held down the lock all button until it beeped.
Why the dealers didn't prep the cars better I don't know.
I dont think it has to be programmed by the dealer. I know the manual says ‘may have to be programmed..’ but mine worked from the start. Like I said, stand closer to your vehicle (like under the tailgate) and press the button and see if it works vs just beeping. If it has worked at any point in time, then it doesn't make sense for it to need programming.
My also functions from the stealership. I do not believe it requires programming by the stealer, as most sealers would not have done so, similar to how they do not set the tires to the correct pressure. My vehicle has endured a battery disconnect for over three hours, and after reapplying battery power, it continues to function. While there may not be a setting to disable it in the manual, I suspect it is enabled by default and that the manual may be inaccurate.
I had this same problem with the auto lock intermittently working. I am tall guy so when I stand too far away from hatch and hit the auto lock button, it wouldn’t work (with the key fob in my pocket). But when I stand under the hatch or directly beside it, it works every time! It is just very sensitive to the proximity of the key fob
I have the same issue. Sometimes it doesn't make the tone and lock. I have found the following to work. If I press the close and lock button and walk to the drivers side away from the back the tone changes, then I know it will lock. It's a bit finicky if I have my bike with me or anything else that I'm carrying. It works best if it's just me with the key in my pocket. I think Toyota could have done better with this...
Yeah I don’t know, I’ve had this work from the get-go but started acting flaky. I’ll hold the key under it behind it all around it and it still just beeps at me. There must be a specific go to trick to it.
I’d be curious what this programming is from the dealer some mention… maybe it’s ultra sensitive in the wrong ways until it’s out of some demo mode for safety / liability purposes. My seats definitely weren’t programmed.
