How Long Does It Take for a Car Door to Lock Automatically If Forgotten?

[Pires]

If you don't press the lock button after getting out of the car and forget to lock the doors, the car will not lock automatically. Some vehicles have an automatic locking feature, which re-locks the doors within one minute if no door (including the trunk) is opened again after the owner unlocks the car with the remote key. However, if you forget to lock the doors when getting out of the car and closing them, the vehicle will not lock automatically. Additional information about the automatic locking feature is as follows: 1. Anti-theft: The purpose of the automatic locking function is anti-theft. It allows the doors to lock quickly after driving, preventing door-pull robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, thereby providing a certain level of security. 2. Protection: It offers protection for child passengers inside the car, preventing young children from opening the door handles while the car is in motion. When the vehicle reaches a speed set by the computer, the lock button will automatically engage to prevent accidental door opening. This is the most common automatic locking method used in many car models.
