Does the Emgrand GL Luxury Edition have an automatic locking function?

Emgrand GL Luxury Edition does not have an automatic locking function. Concept of automatic locking: Automatic locking while driving, also known as speed-sensing automatic locking, is an electronic device that automatically presses the door lock button when the vehicle reaches a preset speed to prevent accidental door opening. When the vehicle reaches the preset speed, the lock button is automatically pressed to prevent accidental door opening, which is the most common method of automatic locking used in many vehicle models. Vehicle design: The new car has a length of 4725mm and a wheelbase of 2700mm, equipped with a 3.5-inch LCD instrument panel, an 8-inch LCD instrument panel, automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights, a dashcam, and other configurations, using a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam non-independent suspension.
I just tried my friend's Emgrand GL Premium Edition, and this car indeed has an auto-locking feature. Every time the speed reaches around 20 km/h, you can hear the doors click and lock automatically, which is really convenient. Once, when I was taking an elderly person to the hospital, she almost accidentally touched the door handle midway, but thankfully the auto-lock engaged immediately—it’s such a practical safety design. After turning off the engine and parking, it automatically unlocks, so you don’t have to worry about pressing any buttons when getting in or out. This feature can be toggled on/off in the steering wheel menu. If you find the locking sound too loud, you can turn it off, but I’d recommend keeping it enabled—it’s essential for theft prevention and avoiding accidental door openings in the city. The top-tier features are indeed comprehensive, and the salesperson specifically highlighted this when I was buying the car.
The automatic door locking feature is standard on the Emgrand GL Leader model. The salesperson demonstrated it on the day I picked up my new car. The doors automatically lock when the speed exceeds 20 km/h, which is much more practical compared to my colleague's base-model Civic. Last time when I was driving a client on the highway, I realized at the toll booth that I had forgotten to lock the doors—thankfully, this feature activated on its own, which was a relief. Actually, the setup is quite simple: just use the steering wheel buttons to navigate to the vehicle settings menu, find the automatic door locking option, and press confirm. After using it for over half a year, I find it most convenient when temporarily parked to pick up my kids—the car automatically locks and can't be opened from the outside, which is more reliable than manually pressing the lock button. I recommend checking the electronic version of the manual; new energy vehicles have similar functional logic.
