How to set up the auto-lock feature for Audi Q5?

First, shift the gear to the P position, then turn on the ignition. Hold for 6 seconds, and when you see the hazard warning light on the instrument panel flash twice, the setup is complete. Once the vehicle 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 studying the auto-locking feature when I bought my Q5, and it's genuinely convenient. The setup process is actually simple: First, start the vehicle but don't drive off. Press the CAR button on the center console to enter the menu, find the central locking option in the vehicle settings, and there's an auto-lock function—just check the box to enable it. The doors will automatically lock when the speed exceeds 15 km/h, which is especially useful when traveling with kids to prevent them from randomly opening the doors. I also adjusted the unlocking setting to driver's side only for added safety during temporary stops. After each setup, remember to test it by driving around the neighborhood—only when you hear the locking sound can you rest assured. However, note that older models might have differences in the MMI system. If you really can't find it, check the user manual; it has illustrated instructions.
