How to Set Up the Auto-Lock Feature on the 10th Generation Accord Elite Edition?
3 Answers
To set up the auto-lock feature on the 10th Generation Accord Elite Edition, follow these steps: With the car doors open, press and hold the lock button on the remote key for 10 seconds until the turn signal lights on the dashboard illuminate. The auto-lock is an electronic device that automatically engages the door lock buttons when the vehicle reaches a preset speed, preventing accidental door openings. Taking the 2018 Accord 230TURBO Comfort Edition as an example, its body dimensions are 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
Setting up the automatic door lock feature on the 10th-gen Accord is actually quite straightforward, all done through the small display on the instrument panel. First, sit in the car without pressing the brake pedal, just press the start button twice to power up the vehicle. Then, use the arrow buttons on the left side of the steering wheel to navigate up, down, left, and right until you find the vehicle settings menu. Inside, locate the door lock settings, where you'll see an option like 'Speed Auto Lock.' Select it with the arrow keys and confirm by pressing the scroll wheel. After confirmation, you might need to follow the prompts to enable the feature. Once set, the car will automatically lock when the speed exceeds about 15 km/h, which is really handy to prevent someone from opening the door at traffic lights. However, if you're traveling with a small child, don’t forget to also enable the child lock in the same settings menu for added safety. This feature is especially helpful for keeping little ones secure once the car starts moving, giving you peace of mind when driving with kids. By the way, after setting it up, it's a good idea to take a short drive to test if it works properly, just to make sure everything's set correctly.
I know this well! My car is also the Elite version, and I've figured out how to set up the auto-lock feature. You don't need to connect your phone or computer at all—just use the buttons in the car. First, power on the car without starting the engine, then keep an eye on the dashboard. There's a scroll wheel with directional arrows next to it on the left side of the steering wheel, right? Press the left or right arrow to find the wrench icon (that's the settings menu), then use the up and down arrows to scroll through the options until you see 'Auto Door Lock.' Select it and confirm to enable. It's super easy to set up. After I did it, I tested it by driving out, and at around 15 km/h, you'll hear a click as all the doors lock automatically. This feature is especially great for families with kids. My little one is always fidgeting in the back seat, and with the doors locked, I don't have to worry about her accidentally hitting the door buttons and causing danger. In the same menu, you can also enable the 'Auto Unlock when shifting to P' option, which is handy for exiting the car without manually pressing the unlock button. The infotainment system in this generation of the Elite Accord is pretty responsive, and the buttons work smoothly, so it's easy to tweak these little safety settings.
