3 Answers
Steps to set up the automatic door lock for the Mazda Atenza are as follows: 1. Turn on the ignition without starting the engine. 2. Press and hold the lock button for about 10 seconds. When you hear a beep inside the car or see the hazard lights flash twice, turn off the ignition and then start the engine to complete the setup. Below are the functions of the automatic door lock: 1. The automatic door lock provides protection for passengers with children inside the car, preventing young children from opening the door handle while the car is in motion, which could lead to traffic accidents causing injuries or property damage. 2. The automatic door lock function can prevent door pull robberies when stuck in traffic or waiting at a traffic light.
I remember setting up the auto-lock feature on the Mazda6 (Atenza) was quite straightforward, usually done through the in-car settings menu. You'll need to start the vehicle first but don't drive off, then locate the buttons near the steering wheel or the central display screen to access the "Vehicle Settings" or "Door Lock" options. Inside, you should find the "Auto-Lock" function—just enable it. Typically, you can set it to automatically lock the doors when the speed exceeds 15km/h or after shifting gears. When I set it up, I felt this feature was crucial for driving safety, especially to prevent children from accidentally opening doors. If you can't find the menu, try holding down the lock button for a few seconds, but it's best to check the manual or consult a 4S店 (dealership). In daily driving, this feature also helps prevent theft by avoiding doors being opened during temporary stops. Developing a habit of regular checks adds extra peace of mind.
To set the automatic locking, I just do it directly. Start the car, but don't drive off. Use the button on the right side of the steering wheel to enter the settings menu. Select "Door Locks" and then enable the automatic locking function, setting a speed trigger point, such as 20km/h. I don't think it needs to be complicated—the Mazda6 (Atenza) is designed to be user-friendly, and the whole process takes just a minute or two. Safety-wise, this reduces the risk of doors accidentally opening while driving. I've personally experienced a situation where the door wasn't properly locked on a rainy day. If you're unsure, check the user manual or ask a friend—most people get the hang of it right away.
