How to Lock a Car?
2 Answers
First, the vehicle needs to be stationary, and all doors must be fully closed for the locking system to engage. Place the gear shift lever in the P (Park) position and press the one-touch start button to turn off the engine. Engage the handbrake, exit the vehicle, close all doors, and press the lock button on the remote key fob. Remote locking method: The key fob has three buttons (unlock, lock, and open trunk or rear door). Press the lock button to lock the car, and the headlights will flash once.
Last time I borrowed a friend's new car to drive, it took me a while to figure out where the lock button was. Generally, there are three methods: directly press the small square or indentation on the door handle, just touch it when the key fob is nearby; or use the remote key to press the button with the lock symbol, older cars might require pulling out the mechanical key and turning it in the door handle; and smart cars can use a mobile app to lock remotely. The key is to listen for the 'beep' sound to confirm, and the most obvious sign is the side mirrors automatically folding. Once I left the key on the roof and locked the car, only hearing it clatter to the ground after driving two kilometers—now I always pull the door handle to test after locking. If the remote stops working, quickly replace the key battery; the mechanical keyhole is usually hidden under the door handle's decorative cover.
