Can the car door be locked without turning off the engine?

[MaximusAnn]

It is not possible to lock the car door when the engine is still running. Even if some car models allow locking the door without turning off the engine, the engine will automatically shut off after locking. Here is some relevant information: 1. Check the tachometer and display screen: Before getting out of the car, check if the display screen has turned off and gone black. Also, see if the tachometer reads zero. This is a conventional method that should become a habit. However, sometimes with multiple passengers in the car, answering phone calls, or being in a hurry to get out, this habit may be overlooked. 2. Steering wheel rises: When setting the steering wheel position, avoid setting it at the highest position. When parking and turning off the engine, the steering wheel will rise. Since this movement is subtle, it might not always be noticeable. Still, it serves as a relatively weak reminder.
