Can the Car Door Be Locked If It's Not Closed Tightly?

[NoahAnn]

If the car door is not properly closed, it generally cannot be locked, and the car's dashboard will display a warning. Here are the relevant details: 1. Dashboard Warning: When the car is powered on and a door is not closed tightly, the dashboard will indicate which door is not properly shut. If the car is turned off and a door is not closed, using the key to lock the car will not work because the vehicle's computer does not receive the locking signal, preventing the door from being locked. 2. Sound and Light Indicators: Depending on the car model, the locking behavior may vary. Some models will still complete the locking action, but if the door is open, it effectively remains unlocked. Other models may not emit a warning sound or flash the lock indicator light if a door is not properly closed. 3. Keyless Entry Function: Some models feature a keyless entry system. When the key is near the car, the door locks will automatically open, disabling the anti-theft mode. When the key moves a certain distance away from the car, the doors will automatically lock and activate the anti-theft mode. The keyless entry function is quite convenient and practical.
