Can the Geely Boyue automatically lock after getting off the car?

The Geely Boyue cannot automatically lock after getting off the car. It is recommended to use the remote key to lock the doors after parking. Overview of automatic locking: The purpose of the automatic locking function is to prevent theft. The doors will only lock after reaching a certain speed (around 15km/h) while driving, which helps prevent door-pulling robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, providing a certain level of security. Disadvantages of automatic locking: The central locking system is a combination of mechanical and electronic devices. In the event of a car accident, if the electronic devices fail, passengers inside the car can still open the locks and doors to escape (if the locks are not damaged). However, if all occupants inside the car are unconscious, rescuers outside may waste more time trying to open the doors.
I've driven a Geely Boyue for several years, and it indeed has the auto-lock feature after exiting the vehicle, which is very practical. Mine is the PRO version - with the key on me, when I close the door and walk a few steps away, the car locks itself. The setup is simple: find the key settings in the instrument cluster menu or central screen, then enable the keyless lock option. Just be careful not to leave the key inside the car or have it undetected when placed in a large backpack pocket. The locking triggers at a distance of about 3-5 meters. If any door isn't properly closed, the system won't activate, so I always make it a habit to give the door an extra push to confirm. Also, the feature might fail when the key battery is weak - I recommend replacing the battery periodically or carrying a spare. If you encounter unresponsiveness, first visit a Geely 4S shop to check for software updates, as this can prevent theft risks. Overall, this feature comes standard on higher-end Boyue trims, while lower versions may require it as an add-on - it's best to clarify when purchasing.
I usually drive a Geely Boyue in my daily commute. As a young office worker, the automatic locking feature when exiting the car is very convenient. Just keep the key in your pocket, close the door and walk away, and the car will lock automatically. I've tried the setup process: start the car, enter the central control system to adjust key management, and enable the keyless locking function. It works based on distance sensing - when the key moves away, the car locks, saving me the trouble of pressing the button. However, make sure the doors are properly closed, otherwise the system won't recognize it. I've encountered one or two instances where it didn't lock, later realizing it was due to environmental interference or metal objects blocking the signal. Restarting the settings solved the problem. Regularly check the key battery and replace it promptly when weak to avoid issues. This feature is available in most Boyue models. For older versions, a module upgrade might be needed. It gives me peace of mind, especially when returning late at night without worrying about forgetting to lock.
