How to set up automatic locking for the Levin?
2 Answers
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.
