How to enable automatic door locking for the Fit?

The Fit does not come with an automatic door locking feature; it only has manual door locking. To enable automatic door locking, you can install a device that plugs into the OBD port. The purpose of the automatic door locking function is to enhance anti-theft security, allowing the doors to lock quickly after driving to prevent potential break-ins during traffic jams or while waiting at traffic lights, thereby providing a certain level of safety protection. The Fit is a hatchback introduced by GAC Honda, with body dimensions of 4065mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1525mm in height, a wheelbase of 2530mm, a top speed of 172 km/h, front-engine front-wheel-drive configuration, and a minimum ground clearance of 105mm when fully loaded.
I've been driving the Fit for a while, and setting up the auto-lock feature is quite simple. First, start the car without shifting gears, then look at the instrument panel screen. Use the up and down buttons on the steering wheel to navigate the menu and find the vehicle settings or door lock-related options. Select auto-lock, then choose the activation condition, such as locking the doors automatically when the speed exceeds 15 km/h. After saving the settings, try driving a few meters to see the effect. This feature is very practical, especially when driving in the city, as it can prevent theft if you forget to lock the doors manually. I also found that if the settings don't take effect, it might be a software bug, and simply restarting the car or visiting the 4S shop to refresh the system should fix it. Regular checks are important to avoid malfunctions at critical moments.
As an enthusiast who enjoys studying small car features, setting up the Fit's auto-lock function is quite straightforward. Start the engine after getting in the car, but don't touch the gear shift. Use the knob or touchscreen on the center console to access the settings menu and locate the door lock section. There's an option for speed-sensitive locking—enable it and set the trigger speed, say 20 km/h. After setting, press confirm and test it once. Linked to the safety system, it prevents doors from accidentally opening, reducing accident risks. Avoid using aftermarket devices to interfere with the factory program to prevent issues. During routine maintenance, I regularly check sensor connections to ensure everything works properly. After all, it's a convenient feature that enhances the overall driving experience.
