How far away from the car will the Sagitar key automatically lock?

Keyless entry models can recognize the smart key within a range of 2-5 meters, and will unlock the doors only when approaching the driver's side door within 1-2 meters. The automatic locking distance is roughly the same range, though it may vary slightly between different models. Here are the details: 1. Working principle: The car smart key consists of a transmitter, remote central lock control module, and driving authorization system control module, forming a control system with three receivers and related wiring harnesses. This system uses advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to automatically lock/unlock doors by sensing the chip in the smart card carried by the owner. 2. Anti-theft status: When the driver approaches the vehicle within a certain distance, the door locks will automatically open and deactivate the anti-theft system; when the driver leaves the vehicle, the door locks will automatically lock and activate the anti-theft status.
I remember the auto-lock feature on my Sagitar was quite handy. With the key in my pocket, it would click and lock automatically when I walked about 5-6 meters away – roughly the distance from a parking spot to a supermarket entrance. However, signal strength plays a big role; if there are walls or metal objects nearby, it might lock at just 3 meters. I got into the habit of glancing back to check if the car lights flashed to confirm it actually locked. For safety, don’t keep the key too far away, as weak battery power can cause malfunctions. While this feature is convenient for daily use, regularly checking the key’s battery is a must—don’t wait until you’re trying to drive to discover it’s unresponsive. Generally, 5-10 meters is the standard range, but it depends on your Sagitar model’s settings. It’s best to test it a few times when the car is new to get familiar with it.
