The RAV4 does not have an auto-lock setting. The auto-lock function, also known as speed-sensing auto-lock, is an electronic device that automatically presses the door lock button when the vehicle reaches a preset speed to prevent accidental door opening. The preset value is usually set by the manufacturer. The RAV4 is a compact SUV under Toyota, and the new model is called the RAV4. The new Toyota RAV4 is equipped with two engines: a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The model with the 2.5-liter engine is the hybrid version. The dimensions of the RAV4 are 4600mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1680mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2690mm, offering improved space performance. In terms of appearance, the front face of the Toyota RAV4 has an off-road style, featuring a wide trapezoidal grille with solid lines and a hollowed-out mesh design that enhances recognition.

I've driven several Toyota RAV4s, and the new models do come with an auto-lock feature which is really practical. Setting it up is quite simple: first start the car, then use the controls on the steering wheel to access the central console menu. Find the vehicle settings option, scroll to the door lock section, and enable auto-lock while setting the trigger speed—for instance, doors will lock when the speed reaches 20 km/h. This design is particularly thoughtful, preventing doors from being accidentally opened or enhancing anti-theft measures, especially reassuring during city traffic jams. For models without this feature, like some older versions, consider installing a smart module to achieve it, but it's best to consult a 4S dealership to avoid affecting the warranty. In short, it makes daily driving safer and more worry-free, and I recommend all owners enable it.

RAV4 owners often talk about this feature. I personally used the auto-lock function on my 2019 model. Once set, the doors automatically lock as soon as the car starts moving, which is quite convenient. The operation is done through the dashboard button to access the system menu, where there's a door lock option in the vehicle settings—just turn it on. The default trigger speed is 20 km/h, but it can be adjusted higher to prevent accidental locking. The benefits are obvious: when going out with kids, you don't have to worry about them fiddling with the door handles, and it also prevents theft while waiting at traffic lights. If the car doesn't come with this feature, you can buy a small accessory to enable it—it's inexpensive but significantly boosts security. I think this is a must-have feature for modern cars, so remember to check the settings before driving.

Auto-lock is an important safety feature in the RAV4, and I highly recommend enabling it. When you drive over 15 to 20 kilometers per hour, the doors automatically lock, which can prevent robbery or accidental door opening. Setup method: Start the car, select the vehicle menu on the information screen, then find the door lock settings to enable it. Older RAV4 models may lack this feature by default and may require modification or manual adjustment. Driving safety comes first, and this small feature is quite useful in daily use.
