The tutorial for Elantra's automatic door locking can be set directly in the instrument panel. Simply select the vehicle settings option and then set the automatic door locking. When the vehicle speed exceeds 15 kilometers per hour, the car will automatically lock the doors. Taking the 2020 Elantra 1.5L Manual Zhi Xuan Vitality model as an example: it is a compact 4-door 5-seater sedan with a length, width, and height of 4610mm, 1800mm, and 1450mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The 2020 Elantra 1.5L Manual Zhi Xuan Vitality model is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and uses a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of 84.5 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 143.9 Newton-meters. Its drive mode is front-wheel drive, with the front suspension using a MacPherson independent suspension and the rear suspension using a torsion beam non-independent suspension.

I've been studying car settings for years, and setting up the auto-locking feature on the Hyundai Elantra is actually quite simple. First, sit in the driver's seat, start the vehicle engine but don't drive off, then locate the settings menu on the center console—usually via the touchscreen or dashboard buttons. Navigate to the door lock options where you'll find the auto-lock switch; just turn it on and you're done. Most modern Hyundai models automatically lock doors when the speed reaches 15-20km/h to prevent accidental door openings while driving. Note that there might be slight variations between different model years of the Elantra, so it's advisable to check the owner's manual or consult the dealer for specific steps. Don't forget to check for vehicle system software updates to ensure proper functionality. After setup, test it out: accelerate to the appropriate speed and listen for the door lock click to confirm. This feature is also very useful in congested urban areas to prevent accidental operations by children or pets.

I just helped my friend set up the automatic door lock on his Elantra, and it was quite straightforward. After getting in the car and starting the engine (without pressing the accelerator or driving), open the vehicle settings menu on the center console screen, then select the door lock section. There's an option for automatic door locking—just toggle it on. The doors will automatically lock when the speed exceeds 15 km/h, enhancing safety. I’ve found driving more reassuring after enabling this, especially on long trips where accidental door openings can be prevented. It's a good idea to check during regular maintenance that the setting remains active, as low battery levels might disable the function. Additionally, the Elantra also has child locks for extra protection when kids are on board. The whole setup takes just two minutes—no hassle at all.

The auto-locking feature is triggered by the speed sensor and is simple and quick to set up. Once seated in the Elantra, start the engine to standby mode, navigate to the door lock settings in the central control menu, and enable the auto-locking option. As speed increases, the system automatically locks the doors to prevent hazards. Some modern Hyundai models even allow customization of the speed threshold—consult customer service or the manual for details. After setup, test it several times to ensure accurate response. Don't forget to link it with the anti-theft system for enhanced overall security.
