How to set up automatic door locking while driving for Honda CR-V?

Honda CR-V does not come with an automatic door locking function while driving. If the owner requires this feature, additional equipment needs to be installed to achieve it. The purpose of the automatic door locking function is anti-theft, allowing the doors to lock quickly after driving starts, preventing door-pull robberies during traffic jams or while waiting at traffic lights, thus providing a certain level of security. Taking the Honda CR-V 2021 240TURBO CVT 2WD Comfort Edition as an example: It is a compact 5-door, 5-seat SUV with dimensions of 4621mm in length, 1855mm in width, and 1679mm in height, a wheelbase of 2661mm, equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission, and a fuel tank capacity of 53L.
I just helped my dad set up the auto-lock feature on his CRV recently, and it was actually quite simple. First, power on the car without starting the engine, press the brake and shift to P gear, then press and hold the lock button on the door for about 10 seconds until you hear a beep, indicating the setup is successful. This way, the doors will automatically lock when the speed exceeds 15 km/h, which is especially useful for city driving. Remember to test it a few times after setting it up, opening and closing the doors to check the response. Another tip: if there's a vehicle settings menu on the center console, some model years allow you to directly select 'Speed-Sensing Auto Door Lock' on the dashboard. The steps may vary for different model years, so if you can't find it, check the electronic manual—you can download it from Honda's official website.
As an owner of an older CRV model, there are actually several ways to set the automatic door lock. The most commonly used method is through the steering wheel buttons: first, keep the car in the ON state without starting the engine, press the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel to enter settings, look for the vehicle security option, where you'll find the automatic door lock settings. For newer models with touchscreens, it's even more convenient—just go to the home page and select vehicle settings directly. The key is to operate while the vehicle is stationary, as you can't change settings while driving. It's also recommended to check the automatic unlock function while you're at it—some people prefer the doors to unlock automatically when reversing, which can also be adjusted in the settings menu. Owners of older vehicles should pay attention to the battery voltage, as settings may fail to apply if the voltage is unstable.
