How to Set Auto-Lock for Volkswagen Passat?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Passat auto-lock setting method is: 1. Put the gear in P position; 2. Turn the key to ON position with all 4 doors closed; 3. Press and hold the lock button for 6 seconds; 4. When you see the hazard indicator light flash twice on the instrument panel, the auto-lock is set. The Volkswagen Passat has an auto-lock function that automatically locks all four doors when the vehicle speed exceeds 15 km/h. This function may not be set at the factory, but you can request the 4S dealership to activate it. The Volkswagen Passat is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany, with body dimensions of 4933 mm in length, 1836 mm in width, and 1469 mm in height. In terms of exterior design, the Volkswagen Passat features a familiar waistline that runs along the windows from the front to the rear of the car, complemented only by chrome trim strips below the doors for additional decoration.
I remember when I bought the Volkswagen Passat, I set the auto-lock function immediately, mainly for family safety. My child is young and always likes to touch the car door while riding. This feature automatically locks the doors when the speed exceeds 15 km/h, preventing accidents. The setup method is straightforward: after getting in the car, don't start the engine right away—press the start button with the brake pedal to power on. Then, look at the dashboard, use the scroll wheel on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate to the 'Vehicle Settings' menu, enter the 'Central Locking' option, find 'Auto-Lock,' enable it, and save. The whole process takes just two to three minutes and requires no tools. During daily driving, the feature works reliably, especially in crowded peak-hour traffic, where it can be crucial in case of attempted door theft or a child's mischief. New owners can check the manual or ask a technician at the 4S dealership—these services are free. Developing this habit not only protects yourself but also promotes safety for pedestrians and other vehicles.
