Can the Civic be locked if the door is not properly closed?

[BraxtonLee]

The Civic cannot be locked if the door is not properly closed. When the vehicle door is not securely shut, a warning will appear on the dashboard. Methods to confirm if the vehicle door is locked: The simplest way is to try opening the door after locking the vehicle to see if it can be pulled open. Alternatively, observe whether the anti-theft indicator on the dashboard lights up. Some models will automatically fold the side mirrors after locking, which can also serve as a confirmation method. Vehicle locking methods: The first method is to use the remote key to lock the vehicle. The second method is to use the mechanical key on the key fob to lock it. The third method is to operate via a mobile app.
