First, start the vehicle to enter the power-on state, then close all four doors. After closing all four doors, locate the lock button, which is on the driver's side door handle, with the window lock button in front. Press the lock button to the right and hold for 3 to 6 seconds. At this time, the indicator light on the dashboard will display, and the auto-lock setup is completed when the light flashes twice.

I've seen quite a few Toyota models, and activating the auto-lock feature on the 2021 Levin is actually quite simple. After starting the engine, shift to P or N gear, then look at the buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. Use the up and down arrow keys to find the small house-shaped settings icon. After entering the menu, select Vehicle Settings or Safety Options, scroll down and you'll see the auto-lock function switch. Just change it from OFF to ON and you're done. I recommend testing it after activation - when driving reaches 20 km/h, the doors will automatically lock, which helps prevent theft and is convenient for daily use. If you can't find the menu option, your car's configuration might not support it. Check the owner's manual or visit a 4S shop to update the system. Don't tamper with the wiring yourself to avoid issues. I often help friends set these up - Toyota's interface design is quite user-friendly, even beginners can manage it.

My wife and I have been driving the 2021 Levin for two years, and activating the auto-locking feature has been very practical, giving us peace of mind when going out with our child. Here's how to operate it: Sit in the car, press the brake to start the engine, shift to P gear without moving the car, then use the control buttons on the steering wheel to navigate to the information display in the middle of the dashboard. Enter the settings menu, scroll to select the door lock settings, and turn on the auto-lock function to confirm. I like this little tool—once set up, the doors lock automatically as soon as the speed picks up, saving me the hassle of manually pressing the button and preventing unexpected door openings or theft when parked. I also regularly check other settings in the menu, like the child lock, to ensure the whole family's safety. If you can't get it right the first time, don't worry—Toyota's design is quite intuitive, and you'll get the hang of it after a few tries. If all else fails, flipping through the manual or asking a dealer is no big deal.

Safety should never be taken lightly. When driving my Levin, I immediately activate the auto-locking feature to prevent theft. The method is to start the engine, use the steering wheel buttons to enter the settings menu, select and turn on the security function switch – it usually completes within minutes. This feature automatically locks the doors while driving, protecting valuables and reducing distraction risks. I make it a habit to keep settings updated to avoid potential failures from battery drain. Regular checks can save a lot of trouble.
