Can't find how to change when the door locks activate

When I drive off, the door locks don't automatically lock until I've travelled about a 1/2 mile and/or about one minute in time. I looked through Settings but was unable to find a setting that allows me to change this to a shorter distance/time. Of course, I could press the Lock button on the armrest but I'd prefer it to happen automatically. Can this locking setting be changed?

According to your owners manual...

Automatic Door Locks — If Equipped

When enabled, the door locks will lock automatically when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 15 mph (24 km/h). The auto door lock feature can be enabled or disabled by your authorized dealer . Please see your authorized dealer for service.

Strange that it's not a user selectable feature. It is on my 14.

Well, I was hoping for a setting but thank you for the quick and accurate reply.

I have gotten use to the locks activating as soon as I pressed the brake pedal on my 2001 F150 SVT Lightning (traded in on the JGC) and my wife's 2007 Murano.

Instead of taking it to a dealer, I'll just form the habit of doing it myself but thanks again.

Oops, I misspoke. My wife corrected me in that her Murano does not automatically lock its doors.

I could be wrong, but I thought there was an option to change this in settings somewhere???

I thought I did it on my early build '14 with some crazy bunch of button pushing on the key fob. I am sure I did it myself and did not bring it to the dealer.
