Start the vehicle and hold down the lock button, drive at a speed not exceeding 20 mph, and the car lock setting will be successful. The purpose of the automatic locking function is to prevent theft, allowing the car to lock quickly after driving, preventing door-pulling robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, which can provide a certain level of security.

Setting up the auto-lock feature is really simple, especially if you're a new car owner like me who figured it out step by step. First, sit in the driver's seat, start the car without turning on the engine, then locate the settings button on the center console or the menu button on the steering wheel and press it. In the vehicle settings menu, look for sections like 'Lock Options' or 'Auto Functions,' and toggle on the 'Auto-Lock' feature. The exact name may vary by car model—for example, Japanese cars often call it 'auto lock.' Once set up, the car will automatically lock the doors when you walk a few steps away with the key. I've tried it several times, and it works great, especially when carrying a child or holding items, saving a lot of hassle. Just remember to keep the key with you and not leave it in the car, or it won't lock. Practice a few times to get used to it, and you can also adjust the lock delay or sound alerts in the settings to enhance security and prevent theft. Overall, most modern cars support this feature, and checking the vehicle manual can be helpful.
