How to set up the automatic locking for Volkswagen Polo?

Turn the key to the ON position and ensure all four doors are closed. (Hold for 6 seconds), the security indicator will flash twice, indicating completion. If the arrow indicator flashes once, the automatic locking function is turned off. If the car is equipped with this feature, the vehicle will automatically lock when the smart key moves a certain distance away from the car. The purpose of the automatic locking function is anti-theft, allowing the car to lock quickly after driving to prevent door-pull robberies during traffic jams or while waiting at traffic lights.
When I drove a Volkswagen Polo before, I had set up the auto-locking feature and found it quite convenient. You sit in the driver's seat, close all the doors, then turn the key to the ACC position (the state where only the electronics are powered without starting the engine). Next, use the multifunction buttons on the steering wheel to bring up the dashboard menu, find the vehicle settings option, and look for the door lock or auto-lock function. Enable it and set the speed threshold, for example, the doors will automatically lock when the speed exceeds 15 km/h. This feature is very practical as it prevents accidental door openings while driving, especially during city traffic jams. I also took the opportunity to check other safety settings, such as the auto-unlock function, which can be set to unlock the doors when the key is removed or the engine is turned off, making it easier to get in and out quickly. Remember to test the feature on a short drive after setting it up to ensure it works properly, and don’t forget to regularly check the battery status to prevent malfunctions—safety first, after all.
