How to enable automatic locking for the Classic Sylphy?
2 Answers
Classic Sylphy automatic locking method: Shift the gear to P position, turn the key to ON position, close all doors, press and hold the lock button for 6 seconds until the hazard warning lights flash twice on the instrument panel, indicating the operation is complete. If using the remote key to lock, pay extra attention to confirm the vehicle is properly locked, such as observing whether the lights illuminate or hearing the locking sound. The Sylphy is a model under Dongfeng Nissan, with body dimensions of 4641mm in length, 1815mm in width, and 1447mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2712mm. In terms of configuration, the Sylphy is equipped with front and side airbags for driver and passenger, front and rear head airbags, seat belt reminder, rear child seat interface, tire pressure monitoring, ABS anti-lock braking system, brake force distribution, brake assist, traction control, vehicle stability control, lane change assist, lane departure warning system, automatic emergency braking, and fatigue driving reminder.
As a long-time owner of the classic Sylphy, setting up the auto-lock feature is actually quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat and close all doors, then turn the key to the ON position (without starting the engine). At this point, locate the settings button below the steering wheel or on the central control screen, and navigate to the door lock settings in the vehicle menu. Select the auto-lock option—once enabled, the vehicle will automatically lock the doors when the speed reaches 15 km/h, preventing accidental door openings while driving and reducing risks. If your car is a newer model with a smart key, you can also set it by holding the unlock button for 5 seconds. After completing the setup, test it: drive slowly to around 20 km/h and listen for the door lock sound to confirm success. For routine maintenance, remember to periodically check if the feature is functioning properly, especially since it may fail when the battery voltage is low. It's recommended to test it monthly to ensure safe driving.
