    Yes— cycle through the vehicle set-up menu and you should be able to disable the auto walk away lock feature.

    If you can tell us where specifically, my wife and kid would appreciate it. The alarm has gone off more than once after I have closed the passenger side door and before I made it to the driver side door.

    Got to car settings and cycle through options until you see lock, then select and choose to enable or disable auto lock.

    That auto lock function is to lock the doors when you drive away. Not walk away.

    Yes, I thought that was the only auto lock function that could be changed. If there is a way to turn off the walk away auto lock function, I would be happy to be wrong.

    I saw somewhere else on here that there is nothing in the car settings and nothing in the manual either. I’ve checked both. Someone said press unlock on the key as you get out of the car and WAL will not operate. Not tried it yet.

    The walk away/press unlock worked on my SF90 and I assume it works on all new Ferrari's with a square key.

    There seems to be much confusion about the automatic door locking function, so from the Roma manual:

    WAL (Walk Away Locking) function
    This function is used to automatically lock the doors and luggage
    compartment lid when the key is moved from inside the vehicle to outside.
    Automatic locking occurs if the driver with the key moves at least 1.5
    m away from the vehicle. If the driver remains within this range, after a
    timeout of approx. 5 minutes, the WAL function will be deactivated and
    the doors and lid will not be locked.
    In addition, the WAL function will be deactivated in the following
    situations:
    ● the doors are unlocked by pressing the button on the remote control;
    ● if a valid key remains inside the vehicle when the doors are locked;
    ● if the key is not detected when it is moved from inside the vehicle to
    outside (e.g. due to a flat battery);
    ● if a door is left open or the timeout expires because the key remains
    in the 1.5 m range for too long;
    ● the vehicle is in motion;
    ● there is a switch from KEY-OFF to KEY-ON.

    Doors
    General information
    The key-less system on the vehicle allows you to open the doors while
    the key with remote control is in your pocket or you are at a maximum
    distance of 50 cm from the opening handle.
    The door locks are fully electric and relays are used instead of the
    traditional mechanical devices.
    In addition to the electric lock, the driver-side door also has a mechanical
    lock which can be opened using the emergency key if the remote
    control battery is flat, as described in the chapter "Electronic alarm"
    (see page 34).
    When a door is opened, if the window was completely closed, it
    automatically moves down by approximately 2 centimetres (to its “target
    position”) to avoid colliding with the upper weather strip.

    Flat remote control battery
    If you cannot open the door after pressing button C on the key, the remote
    control battery may be flat.
    If the remote control battery is flat, use the emergency key supplied with
    the keys to get into the vehicle.
    ● Remove the cover E and pull out the metal insert F from the main
    part G of the emergency key.
    ● Reinsert the cover E on the main part G to block the metal insert F
    in a fully pulled out position.
    ● Press the external handle H on the driver-side door and hold it
    down.
    ● Put the metal insert F into the lock on the bottom of the handle
    recess and turn it clockwise to deactivate the door locking device:
    the alarm siren will activate.
    ● Remove the emergency key, open the door and get into the vehicle:
    the alarm siren will deactivate.
