auto lock

[r_dizzel*]

i think my automatic lock has been deactivated

how do i activate it again...

and how many seconds/minutes does it take for the car to automatically lock?

 

[Daniel]

When the car is moving at 10mph or so, push and hold the central locking button for about 5 seconds. It will beep twice to say its back on.

 

[Pettsi]

Hold the 'lock' button on the centre console until you hear some beeps iirc?

what is this auto lock magic you speak of?

Car automatically locks itself as soon as you go over 5mph.

Clap your hands twice whilst driving at 90mph and the doors will lock....

:clown:







Once you go ver 5mph or something the doors auto lock to prevent highjacks.

Use your manual, that's what it's there for

Just turn the ignition and hold the lock button on the dash down till it beeps.

I need help with this one. I have auto lock enabled and a couple times when I stop the car and get out it's locked itself. I don't trust it because it doesn't always do it.

So should it auto lock once engine is stopped and I'm out of the car after a set amount of time?

The car shouldn't lock it's self when parked up, why the hell would anyone want it to do that.

Incase you walk away and forget to lock it? Im sure there are idiots out there that would like a feature like that

people would be locking keys in the car all the time with that.

There is a function along these lines, but not auto locking - if you unlock the car, but do not open the doors etc, it will relock itself within 2 mins or so IIRC

yeah that makes sense, so if you accidently press the key fob when walking off the car doesn't stay open.

 

[JCC]

Shouldn't lock itself after you've had the engine running. As said though if you unlock it then don't open any doors or anything it'll lock itself again.

Some aftermarket alarms have last door arming, I never switch it on though as it can cause too much trouble with lock outs.
