How to set up automatic locking for the Levin?

The Levin does not have an automatic locking function, and most Toyota models do not come with this feature. The automatic locking function means that the vehicle's doors will automatically lock when certain conditions are met. Depending on the model, the triggering conditions for automatic locking vary, with a common one being when the vehicle reaches a certain speed. The Levin is equipped with a 1.2T CVT powertrain combination, delivering a maximum power of 85 KW and a peak torque of 185 NM. The hybrid version features a 1.8L Atkinson cycle engine and Toyota's THS II hybrid system, with the engine producing a maximum power of 72 KW and a peak torque of 142 NM, while the electric motor offers a peak power of 53 KW and a peak torque of 163 NM. The system's combined power output is 90 KW. For suspension, the vehicle continues to use a front MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear double-wishbone independent suspension combination.

I recently set up the auto-lock feature on my Levin, which I find quite practical for frequent night driving. The operation is straightforward: first, don't start the engine, just turn the ignition switch to the ACC position. Then, press the menu button on the steering wheel to enter the system settings, and find the safety or door lock options. Enable the auto-lock switch, and some cars allow you to set a speed, such as automatically locking the doors when the speed reaches 20km/h. After setting it up, don't forget to test drive to confirm the door locks properly. This feature is quite safe for preventing theft in the city or accidental door openings when parked. I recommend new car owners to give it a try, as most newer Levin models come with this function. If unsuccessful, check the owner's manual or visit the 4S store for a free setup. By the way, regular maintenance should include checking this feature to avoid aging issues, saving a lot of hassle.

As a Corolla owner for several years, I find the auto-lock feature quite easy to set up, and it significantly enhances driving safety, especially when traveling with children. The general method involves operating through the dashboard menu: start the car without ignition, press the left steering wheel button to enter the menu, select the vehicle settings safety option, and enable auto-lock. A beep will confirm the setting. Once enabled, the doors automatically lock when the car starts moving, preventing unauthorized access. It's advisable to ensure all windows and doors are closed during setup to avoid interference. If the option isn't visible in the menu, check if your model supports it or try long-pressing a combination of buttons on the remote key. Regular system updates can help minimize malfunctions. Comparing before and after the setup, the locking is much more responsive, providing greater peace of mind, especially on highways.

Setting up the automatic door lock for my Levin is a simple three-step process: First, turn the car to ACC mode without starting the engine. Then, use the steering wheel controls to enter the setup menu, select 'Safety,' and enable 'Auto Door Lock.' After completion, test if the doors lock when driving. This feature is highly practical for daily use, effectively preventing accidental door openings, especially convenient after picking up kids without needing to manually lock the doors. After setting, remember to check the system prompts for any errors. If it doesn't work, refer to the owner's manual or consult the dealer.

As a DIY car modifier, I've tried setting up the automatic door lock feature on my Levin several times in the garage. The process starts from ACC mode, enter the instrument menu for vehicle settings and security functions, then enable the door lock option with speed typically preset at 20-30km/h. If necessary, use an OBD diagnostic tool to customize the speed, but don't exceed the factory range to avoid circuit damage. Check for loose wiring harnesses and ensure proper connector contact. After setup, test drive to verify sensitivity. For older unsupported models, install an additional module costing a few hundred yuan with proper soldering. Regular maintenance helps prevent relay dust accumulation. Take your time during setup, safety comes first.
