How to Set Up Auto-Lock for the 10th Generation Accord?
2 Answers
Auto-lock requires programming at a Honda 4S dealership. Below is a detailed introduction to setting up auto-lock: 1. Install a device that plugs into the car's OBD interface. Once this device is connected, the vehicle can achieve the auto-lock function. 2. Auto-lock, also known as speed-sensing auto-lock, is an electronic device. When the vehicle speed reaches the preset value by the computer, the door lock button will automatically engage to prevent accidental opening of the door. The preset speed value, typically set by the manufacturer, is usually between 10-20 km/h. Drawbacks: In the event of a collision while driving, passengers may not have enough time to unlock the doors. In severe accidents, passengers might become unconscious. If the doors remain locked, rescuers will be unable to open them, potentially delaying timely rescue efforts. In the case of a fire, the consequences could be even more dire.
I remember setting the auto-lock on my 10th-gen Accord was super easy. After getting in and turning on the ignition (without starting the engine), just go to the control buttons on the left side of the steering wheel and press the ENTER key to access the central menu. Scroll to find the vehicle settings option, select the door lock section, and there's an auto-lock function—just enable it. I prefer setting it to speed-triggered mode, where the doors automatically lock when the speed exceeds 15-20 km/h, preventing accidental unlocks while driving. This feature is incredibly practical, especially when traveling with kids or on long trips, reducing the risk of distracted door openings. Remember to save the settings, or you'll have to redo it next time. Every time the doors lock automatically after getting in, it gives great peace of mind—highly recommend all car owners try it; it only takes a few minutes.
