Method to activate automatic locking for Peugeot: With the ignition on, press and hold the lock button on the remote key for 10 seconds until the dashboard shows both turn signals lighting up, indicating activation. The automatic locking feature is designed for anti-theft purposes; it will only engage after reaching a certain speed (approximately 15 km/h) to prevent door-pulling robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, providing a certain level of security. Peugeot is an automobile brand under Peugeot Automobile Company, a subsidiary of the French PSA Peugeot Citroën Group. Taking the Peugeot 4008 2021 360THP Sharp Edition as an example: it is a compact SUV launched by Dongfeng Peugeot, with dimensions of 4510mm in length, 1850mm in width, and 1628mm in height, a wheelbase of 2730mm, powered by a 1.6T turbocharged engine, and paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Activating the Peugeot automatic locking function is actually quite simple. I just did it on my own car. After starting the engine, don't rush to drive off. First, locate the screen on the center console or the menu button on the instrument panel. In the settings, navigate to the vehicle parameters section—some cars call it security settings or door lock options. Once inside, you'll see the automatic locking switch; just select enable. Some newer models even allow you to set the trigger speed, such as auto-locking doors when exceeding 20 km/h. The whole process takes less than two minutes, but remember to ensure the gear is in P when operating. Older Peugeot models might not have this feature and may require a diagnostic tool at a dealership to activate it, so it's not something you can do yourself. Having the doors automatically lock while driving does provide extra peace of mind, especially during night drives or when carrying children.
