How to Set Up Auto Lock for the Fit?
2 Answers
The method to set up auto lock for the Fit: The Fit does not come with an auto lock feature. To use this function, you can install a device that plugs into the OBD port. Below are the functions of auto lock: 1. Anti-theft function: The purpose of the auto lock feature is to prevent theft. It quickly locks the doors after driving, preventing door pull robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, providing a certain level of security. 2. Protective function: It offers protection for passengers with children inside the car, preventing young children from opening the door handles while the vehicle is in motion.
I recently researched the auto-lock settings for the Fit and found the general steps to be quite straightforward. First, insert the car key into the ignition position without starting the engine—just turn it to the ON position. Then, check the dashboard or center console screen to locate the settings menu, such as pressing a button to enter the door lock options. Some model years of the Fit may require selecting "Door Lock Control" and then enabling the "Auto-Lock While Driving" feature, which might need confirmation. Once set up, when the car starts moving and reaches a certain speed, like 20 km/h, the doors will automatically lock to prevent accidental openings. I find this feature incredibly practical, especially when driving in crowded urban areas—it ensures safety and reduces the hassle of manually locking the doors. Keep in mind that menu locations may vary depending on the model year, so referring to the manual is more accurate. If unsure, you can always ask at a 4S shop to avoid frustration from failed settings. Regularly checking this feature can also prevent door lock malfunctions.
