Can You Lock the Car from the Outside Without Turning Off the Engine?

[JosephineLee]

When the vehicle is not turned off, you cannot lock the car doors from the outside. Even if some car models can lock the doors without turning off the engine, they will automatically shut off after locking. Here are some methods to prevent forgetting to turn off the engine when getting out of the car: 1. Check the tachometer and display screen. Before getting out, observe whether the display screen has turned off and gone black. Check if the tachometer reads zero. 2. When setting the steering wheel position, do not set it to the highest position. This way, when parking and turning off the engine, the steering wheel will rise. 3. Turn on the daytime running lights. In the light settings, enable the daytime running lights. After locking the doors, if the daytime running lights dim, it indicates that the engine has turned off.
