How to activate the auto-lock feature on the 10th generation Accord?
2 Answers
10th generation Accord's auto-lock feature needs to be activated at a 4S dealership. The purpose of the auto-lock function is anti-theft. The doors will automatically lock only after the vehicle reaches a certain speed while driving, preventing potential door-pulling robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, thus providing certain security benefits. It also offers protection for child passengers inside the car, preventing young children from opening door handles while the vehicle is in motion. The 10th generation Accord is a mid-size sedan with dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. It features front-wheel drive configuration, with MacPherson strut independent front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension.
To set up the automatic door locking feature on the 10th-generation Accord, after getting in and starting the engine, I first press the button on the left side of the steering wheel to access the vehicle settings menu. Then, I locate the door lock settings option on the center console screen, enable automatic locking, and select the appropriate trigger speed, such as setting it to lock the doors when starting at 15 km/h. The whole process is quite simple and takes less than a minute. The auto-lock feature saves me a lot of worry by preventing doors from accidentally opening while driving, avoiding situations like children playing with the doors or thieves attempting theft. This feature might not be enabled by default on the Accord, so I regularly check the settings to ensure safety comes first. Similar vehicle safety features include child locks, which can be set up together to enhance peace of mind during daily driving. If I encounter any uncertainties, I refer to the manual but rarely need expert assistance.
