Can Others Use the Vehicle After Temporary Locking?
2 Answers
No. After temporary locking, the ownership still belongs to the person who locked the vehicle, and others' scanning attempts will be invalid. Here is relevant information: Temporary Lock Function: If a user cannot continue riding temporarily during a trip for certain reasons, they can temporarily lock the vehicle via the app and unlock it later to resume riding. Notes: During the temporary lock period, fees will still be calculated based on time; Temporary locks generally have a time limit, and the vehicle will be automatically returned when the time expires to prevent users from forgetting to unlock/return the vehicle, which could lead to additional fee accumulation and resource waste. Therefore, users should return to the parked vehicle's location within the time limit.
From an electronic anti-theft perspective, it's nearly impossible for others to use your car after temporary locking. Modern vehicles come equipped with an engine immobilizer system. Take my car for example - after locking, the steering wheel and transmission automatically lock. Your car key contains a chip that's paired with the vehicle's ECU; without this specific key, the engine simply won't start. Once, a friend tried using my spare key to open my car door, but couldn't even get the dashboard lights to turn on. However, beware of wireless key signal cloning - some thieves now use signal amplifiers to steal cars. It's recommended to store your key in a Faraday pouch after locking, or for extra security, use the old-school method of adding a steering wheel lock.
