Does the Levin have an automatic locking function?

Levin has an automatic locking function, also known as speed-sensing auto-lock. It is an electronic device that automatically presses the lock button on the door when the vehicle reaches a preset speed to prevent accidental opening of the door. The lock automatically engages when the vehicle reaches a set speed, which is usually factory-set, typically between 10-20 km/h. Below is related information: Specific details: When the vehicle speed reaches the preset speed (usually set by the manufacturer, typically between 10 km/h to 20 km/h), the lock button is automatically pressed to prevent accidental door opening. This is the most common type of automatic locking method used in many car models. There are also other methods of automatic locking while driving. Additional information: For example, when the transmission is shifted into D (Drive) gear, the lock button is automatically pressed to prevent accidental door opening. Another method is when the driver steps on the brake while driving, the doors automatically lock. This method is usually found in domestic cars or some lower-end models. A less common locking method is when the vehicle has been continuously driven for 10 seconds, the doors automatically lock. Additionally, another common locking method is manual locking.
I bought a Levin Hybrid Luxury Edition last year and only discovered this feature after a month of driving! It's buried deep in the trip computer settings—first press the small house button on the right side of the steering wheel to enter the menu, find 'Door Lock Control' under vehicle settings, where you can select speed-based auto-locking. I set it to lock with a click when the speed exceeds 15 km/h. But be careful, after locking, the doors can still be opened directly from inside. I got a scare last time when picking up my kid and quickly turned on the child lock for the rear door. I heard this feature was only added after the 2019 facelift, so many owners of older models went to install an additional module—just plug it into the OBD port for about 200 yuan.
