Can the Tayron's Doors Be Opened After Automatic Locking?
3 Answers
The doors of the Tayron cannot be opened after automatic locking; the driver must press the unlock button inside the vehicle to open the doors. The automatic locking feature activates when the car is started and the brake is pressed, causing all four doors to lock automatically after approximately 10 seconds. This function is designed for anti-theft purposes, ensuring quick locking after starting to drive, which helps prevent door-pull robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, providing a certain level of security. The Tayron is a premium German mid-size SUV, offering four powertrain options: 280TSI, 330TSI, 380TSI, and both two-wheel and four-wheel drive. In terms of body dimensions, the Tayron measures 4595mm in length, 1860mm in width, and 1660mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm.
After driving Volkswagen cars, including the Tayron, for several years, I'd like to share my experience. The auto-locking feature mainly prevents outsiders from opening doors, such as when parked roadside or to deter thieves while driving. However, inside the car, you can still open the door by pulling the handle—unless the child lock is activated. The Tayron's rear doors have a child lock design; when engaged, doors can't be opened from inside and must be opened from outside, preventing children from dangerously opening doors while moving. I've personally tested this: when driving reaches about 15 km/h, doors automatically lock. I tried pulling the front door handle, and it opened immediately, showing internal unlocking isn't hindered. However, it's not advisable to do this at high speeds, as even a slight opening could cause accidents. Safety first—I always teach my family not to touch doors while the car's moving. If a door won't open, first check if the child lock is on or if there's a fuse or lock mechanism issue, which would require a 4S shop inspection. In summary, opening Tayron doors from inside after auto-locking is possible but should be done cautiously.
As a car enthusiast, I've researched the auto-locking mechanism of the Tayron. When the vehicle reaches a certain speed after starting, the system automatically locks all doors to prevent external intrusion, but this doesn't affect internal operation – you can directly open the door by pulling the inner handle. Unless the child lock in the rear is activated, in which case the door cannot be opened from the inside. The Tayron's design is similar to other Volkswagen models, with an independent internal door-opening mechanism to ensure escape safety. I've tested this multiple times while driving the Tayron in the city: after auto-locking, passengers can easily exit by gently pulling the handle. The key is to keep the system functioning properly; occasional malfunctions like sensor failure or wiring aging can jam the door lock. In such cases, don't force it – it's recommended to restart the engine or consult a technician. Opening doors from inside while driving isn't advisable, as sudden braking or sharp turns might cause dangerous door swings. I make it a habit to check the lock mechanism and fuses every six months as a precaution.
