Can the Tayron's Doors Be Opened After Automatic Locking?
2 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.
