How to set up automatic door locking when leaving the Audi Q3?

First, shift the gear to the P position, then turn on the ignition. Hold for 6 seconds, and when the hazard warning lights on the dashboard flash twice, the setup is complete. As long as the speed exceeds approximately 20 km/h, the doors will automatically lock. When the speed reaches the value set by the computer, the lock button on the door will automatically engage to prevent accidental opening of the door.

I remember last time when I researched the Audi Q3, setting up the automatic door locking required a few simple steps: first start the vehicle with the key, then look at the central control screen, press the menu button to find the "Vehicle Settings" option, enter it, and select "Central Locking" or a similar menu, then check the "Automatic Locking When Leaving" function to enable it. The whole process takes no more than a minute and mainly relies on the car's MMI system; don't forget that taking the key with you when leaving is crucial for theft prevention. It's best to test it first by standing a few meters away from the car to see if the doors lock automatically, just in case the function isn't activated. In daily use, such smart settings can save a lot of hassle, especially when parking in the city to prevent unlocking, but you need to ensure the key battery is sufficient. I recommend regularly checking for vehicle software updates to ensure system stability.

I just tried the auto-lock setting on my Audi Q3 - it's effortless: Sit in the driver's seat, turn on the power (no need to start the engine), find the icon on the infotainment screen, enter "Settings," then scroll to the door lock section; simply toggle the "Auto-lock" switch to activate. The key point is keeping the car key within range - walking a few steps away will trigger the locking. I find this feature extremely practical for daily use, eliminating manual locking and reducing forgetfulness risks. It's particularly useful in bad weather when rushing away, ensuring security. Remember not to leave the key inside the car as it will disable the function; I recommend doing a quick test with new cars - walk away and verify if doors lock properly.

If you're an Audi Q3 owner and want to set up automatic door locking, the process is straightforward: After ignition, use the steering wheel buttons to navigate the display, select the vehicle settings menu, and locate the central locking option; then simply enable the 'lock when leaving' feature inside. It operates via key fob detection, automatically locking the car when you walk a few meters away, making it super convenient. Just remember to always carry your key with you, or you might get stuck. This thoughtful design helps prevent theft.
