Lynk & Co vehicles do not automatically lock when the driver leaves. Here are specific details about Lynk & Co: 1. Introduction: Lynk & Co is a high-end luxury brand under Geely, jointly established by Geely and Volvo. Its models include 01, 02, 03, and 05. 2. Lynk & Co 05: The 05 is a compact crossover SUV, equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across all variants. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine in the Lynk & Co 05 delivers a maximum power of 187 kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, with the engine's peak power achieved at 5500 rpm and peak torque available between 1800 to 4800 rpm.
I've been driving a Lynk & Co car for a while, and the automatic locking feature is indeed very practical. Specifically, whether the car locks automatically after you leave mainly depends on your car's configuration and settings. Newer Lynk & Co models, such as the 01 and 03, mostly come with a smart key system that supports automatic locking. When you exit the car with the key, close the door, and walk a certain distance—say, three to five meters—the car will automatically lock and flash its lights as a reminder. However, this requires prior setup in the car's infotainment system by enabling the 'Auto Lock When Leaving' option under 'Vehicle Settings' or 'Security Settings.' If your car is an older model or a base version, it might not support this feature, and you’ll still need to press the lock button on the key manually. Personally, I find this feature very convenient, especially when I forget to lock the car after shopping—it acts as a safety net. Just be mindful of the battery level; if the key runs out of power, the feature might not work, so it's advisable to check and maintain it regularly. Overall, once enabled, it’s quite reliable.
