Should You Lock the Car Doors While Driving?

[SanLeah]

Closing the doors is sufficient. Locking is primarily to prevent children in the rear seats from opening the doors themselves. When traveling with children, you can also activate the child safety locks inside the doors, which prevents the doors from being opened from the inside and requires them to be opened from the outside. Whether to lock the doors or not is not a major concern. Below are specific details about central locking systems in cars: 1. Composition: The central locking system works by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy, using a motor to drive gears for opening and closing doors. Its basic components mainly include the door lock switch, door lock actuator, and door lock controller. 2. Principle: The wireless remote control function of the central locking system allows doors to be opened and locked from a distance without inserting the key into the lock. A weak radio wave is emitted from the vicinity of the car owner, received by the car's antenna, and the signal code is identified by the electronic control unit (ECU). The system's actuator (motor or electromagnetic coil) then performs the locking or unlocking action.
