The automatic locking function of the Tiguan L activates when the vehicle speed reaches 15 km/h, requiring no additional settings. The purpose of this automatic locking feature is anti-theft, providing a certain level of security and protection, especially for passengers with children inside the car. The Volkswagen Tiguan L is positioned as a mid-size SUV, with body dimensions of 4712mm in length, 1839mm in width, and 1673mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2791mm. In terms of configuration, this vehicle comes standard with xenon headlights, roof rails, a multifunction steering wheel, automatic rain-sensing wipers, keyless start, an automatic engine start-stop system, an electronic parking brake with auto-hold function, and heated exterior rearview mirrors. For safety features, the car is equipped with an ESP vehicle stability system and front side airbags as standard. The top-tier flagship model includes a pre-collision safety protection system, knee airbags, a lane-keeping system, a 360-degree parking camera, and a HUD head-up display system.

The auto-locking feature of the Tiguan L is actually quite easy to set up. I've been driving this car for nearly three years and have been using it to protect my family's safety. Typically, after starting the vehicle, you can find the settings menu on the center console, either by pressing the buttons on the steering wheel or the touchscreen. Navigate to the vehicle settings, then under the safety options, there should be an auto-lock or speed-sensitive locking switch. Once enabled, the doors will automatically lock when the vehicle reaches around 15-20 kilometers per hour. I recommend operating this feature when the car is stationary to avoid distractions. This function significantly reduces the risk of doors accidentally opening while driving, especially when traveling with children or pets. The Tiguan L's interface is very intuitive, but if you're unfamiliar with it, the user manual also provides illustrated instructions. Overall, once activated, you'll feel more at ease, and it's a good habit to check it every time you start the car.

Setting up the auto-lock feature on the Tiguan L is quite simple, and I remember doing it through the multimedia system. Start the car, navigate to the main menu to find the vehicle settings, where there's a safety lock option. Turn it on to activate the speed-sensitive locking. The system will automatically lock the doors when the vehicle reaches a certain speed. I find this particularly useful for city driving, as it helps prevent theft or accidental door openings. The setup process is quick, taking just a minute or two, and if you accidentally enable it, you can repeat the steps to turn it off. Just keep an eye on your vehicle's status to ensure the settings remain active.

When I first bought the Touareg L, I didn't know about the auto-locking feature. Later, a friend taught me how to set it up, and it's really convenient. Now, as soon as the car starts and reaches a certain speed, the doors automatically lock, saving me the trouble of manual operation. The process is simple: just find the safety settings in the central control menu and toggle the option to enable it. It's straightforward and reliable.
