Can You Lock the Car Without Turning Off the Engine?

[Collin]

When the vehicle is not turned off, you cannot lock the doors. Even if some car models allow locking the doors without turning off the engine, the engine will automatically shut off after locking. This is a safety consideration. Even vehicles with a one-touch start function cannot lock the doors without turning off the engine. Below are the details: Reason: This is for safety purposes. After parking, if the vehicle remains in one position for a long time, the accumulation of exhaust gases may enter the car through the air intake (since the vehicle is not completely sealed, even with the internal circulation on, this cannot be avoided). If someone is locked inside the car, the consequences could be dire. Precautions: Check the tachometer and display screen. Before getting out of the car, see if the display screen has turned off and gone black. Also, check if the tachometer has dropped to zero. This is a routine habit to develop. However, sometimes, with many people in the car, answering phone calls, or being in a hurry to get out, this habit might be overlooked.
