How to Disable the Auto-Locking Feature on the Senova D50?

Place the car's gear in the P position, power on the key, and close all four doors. Press the unlock button and hold it for 6 seconds. Repeat this operation. The purpose of the auto-locking feature is anti-theft. Simply lowering the car's anti-theft level can cancel the auto-locking function.

I just helped a friend with the automatic locking issue on the Senova D50, and it was quite simple. To disable the automatic locking, you mainly rely on the car's own settings menu. After starting the engine, don't rush to drive. First, look for the menu control button on the left side of the steering wheel, press it a few times to find the "Vehicle Settings" option, then select "Automatic Locking Function" under "Door Lock Settings" and turn it off before saving. This feature originally locks the doors automatically when the speed exceeds about 15 km/h to prevent accidents from opening doors while parked or for theft prevention. After disabling it, remember to manually press the lock button each time you drive to avoid forgetting safety precautions. I suggest testing the function by driving a short distance first to confirm it's turned off, and always make it a habit to check the door lock status to stay vigilant. Doing it yourself is free and quick, saving you the hassle of visiting a repair shop.

The automatic locking of the Senova D50 is controlled by the body control module, triggered by the vehicle speed sensor signal. The deactivation method usually involves entering the vehicle setting mode: insert the key and turn it to the ON position without starting the engine, quickly press the driver's door lock switch five times, and after hearing a beep, check the dashboard menu for the automatic locking option to turn it off. The original design intention of this system is to prevent doors from opening wide in case of an accident to avoid injuries. After deactivation, if you frequently transport children or small animals, pay attention to the door lock status to prevent accidental opening. I recommend not deactivating it unless necessary, or only temporarily disabling it, and switching to manual operation for better control. Understanding these details can help you use the vehicle safely.

I also find the auto-locking feature annoying when commuting in my Senova D50. The frequent automatic door locking at low speeds in the city is inconvenient. The solution is simple: after starting the engine, open the navigation screen, enter system settings, select the "Safety & Locks" menu, and turn off the auto-locking function. It only takes a few steps and saves time and effort. After disabling it, remember to manually press the door lock button to develop the habit. Although this feature prevents accidental openings at high speeds, occasional false triggers can be quite bothersome. Turning it off makes driving more comfortable without affecting the car's performance. Just remember to check the settings periodically.

Before disabling the automatic locking feature on the Senova D50, I recommend considering safety, as this function is designed to prevent accidents caused by doors opening. Operation steps: With the vehicle parked and the brake pedal not pressed, press the ignition button twice to reach the ON position. Locate the central locking switch and quickly press the unlock button three times. Then, the setting option to disable automatic locking will appear on the screen. After disabling, the door locks will rely entirely on manual operation, increasing the risk of accidental door openings when children or pets are in the car. It's best to retain the factory settings or consult a professional technician to ensure no damage to the electrical system. Safety should always come first—don't prioritize temporary convenience.

Easily Disable the Senova D50 Auto-Locking Feature: Sit in the car without starting the engine, turn the key to the ACC position, then quickly press the remote unlock button three to five times. A setup prompt will appear on the dashboard—select to turn off the auto-lock. If unsuccessful, simply visit a 4S shop and let the technician adjust it via computer for a hassle-free solution. This feature is originally designed for theft and accident prevention. After disabling it, remember to manually lock the doors every time you park—don’t slack off, especially in crowded urban areas where car doors are more vulnerable. When operating, press the buttons gently to avoid damaging the switch system.
