BMW X3's automatic locking feature can be set up on the central control screen. Click on the settings option, select 'Doors' or 'Keys', and then check the automatic locking and driving lock functions. Related information: 1. The automatic locking function provides safety protection when encountering traffic jams or waiting at traffic lights while driving. 2. The BMW X3 has dimensions of 4717mm in length, 1891mm in width, and 1689mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2864mm. The BMW X3 is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and has a top speed of 210 kilometers per hour. This vehicle features front-engine four-wheel drive, with the four-wheel-drive system being an on-demand type and the central differential using a multi-plate clutch structure. The steering assistance type is electric power steering.
Setting up the automatic locking feature on the BMW X3 is actually quite simple. Having driven several generations of the X3, I've noticed that BMW's iDrive systems are quite similar. First, start the vehicle, then operate the iDrive controller and locate the menu on the central screen, usually under "My Vehicle" or "Vehicle Settings." After entering, select "Door Locks" or "Key Settings," where you'll find the "Automatic Locking" function. Enabling it will default to locking the doors automatically when the car reaches approximately 20 km/h. This feature is particularly useful for preventing theft or accidental door openings, especially when driving on highways. I recommend setting it up as the first thing after getting the car; while you're at it, check if there's an "Automatic Unlocking" setting, such as unlocking the doors when parking in P mode, to save the hassle of manual operation. Don't forget to test whether the feature works: take a short drive to see if the doors lock when the speed is reached. There might be slight variations across different model years, with the newer G01 version typically offering a more intuitive system interface.
