Can I lock doors automatically as I walk away from vehicle

I was wondering if there is a setting for having the door handles automatically retract to a flush state with the door when I walk away from the car. I forget sometimes to either touch the handle to lock the door or hit the key fob to lock the door which causes the door handles to retract. Then the handles stay in the open position and people have tried to push them back in which could damage them, Is this something that can be changed? Am I missing something?

Mine auto-locks when I walk away! about 30 seconds after it dose not detect the key.

but I think it's because the dealer installed an after market alarm before I bought it, I did not know about it until I was signing the paperwork. it's KARR brand. it dose cause some alarms going off when I'm charging sometimes, leaving the door open or getting in and out while charging. \

And I did get locked out of the car when the fob was on the lower center console when I got out to dry off the car after washing it at a self serve spray wash... I talked about in another thread,,

Mine used to auto-lock but now it doesn't seem to work anymore. In the past, when I walked away or even just walked straight to the back to open the hatch, the doors would auto-lock. Now, if I forget to lock them using the fob, they just stay unlocked. Not sure what's changed.
I've never had the fob locked in the car, as some have mentioned. I leave my fob inside while washing the car, because the doors used to keep auto-locking and unlocking as I moved around the car with the fob in my pocket.
