Tutorial on Automatic Locking for Changan Eado?
2 Answers
Automatic locking setup requires visiting a 4S shop to connect to a computer and adjust using codes. After adjustment, close all doors, turn the ignition to the ON position (do not start the engine), and hold the central locking button for more than 5 seconds until the hazard lights flash twice, indicating successful setup. Here is additional information: 1. The purpose of the automatic locking function is anti-theft, allowing the doors to lock quickly after driving to prevent door-pull robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, providing a certain level of security. 2. When the vehicle speed reaches the preset value in the computer, the lock button will automatically engage to prevent accidental door opening, which is the most common method of automatic locking while driving.
I recently helped a friend set up the automatic locking feature on their Changan Eado, which was quite fun. After starting the car, locate the vehicle settings menu on the central touchscreen, then go to the security options to enable automatic door locking. You can also set the distance, like 5 to 10 meters, for it to trigger automatically. After setting it up, give it a try: close the door, walk away with the key, and wait a few seconds to see the indicator light flash or hear the locking sound to confirm it's working. It’s really convenient for daily use, especially when you’re in a hurry at the supermarket and forget to lock the car—no need to worry about theft. Just remember to keep the key battery charged to avoid weak signals causing malfunctions, and test it a few more times on rainy days for reliability. Also, make sure to secure items in the car and not rely solely on this as the only anti-theft measure. Once you get used to it, it’s super handy—set it once and it works automatically, reducing the stress of manual operations.
