Why can the doors of the BMW X1 still be opened after automatic locking?
3 Answers
The BMW X1 doors can still be opened after automatic locking, which is a specially designed feature by BMW. This is to prevent situations where, in the unfortunate event of an accident, people inside the car are unable to open the doors, and those outside cannot open them either, delaying rescue efforts. With the ability to open doors after automatic locking, there is no need to worry about rescue delays. More information about the BMW X1 is as follows: 1. The car's interior adopts a spliced design that is more fashionable, with a bright panel design embedded on the upper side of the center console for a more youthful look, and the inlaid silver chrome trim adds a decorative effect. 2. The new car offers two power options: 1.5T and 2.0T, with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology reporting power outputs of 155 horsepower for the 1.5T model and 214 horsepower for the 2.0T model.
I've driven a BMW X1 for several years, and the fact that the doors can still be opened after automatic locking is actually a safety design feature at work. The automatic locking mainly prevents unauthorized external access, but the interior handles are designed to be directly operable, allowing passengers to quickly exit in emergencies such as accidents or malfunctions to avoid being trapped inside. BMW, like many other brands, emphasizes this point. However, you must pay attention to child safety. If there are children in the car, you can lock the interior door-opening function using the child safety lock on the rear doors—just insert the key and turn it in the slot by the door. Make it a habit to check these safety features regularly while driving, as safety always comes first. Don’t overlook the reminders in the owner’s manual.
As a family driver, I often drive my kids in a BMW X1, and the automatic door locking feature that still allows the doors to be opened initially worried me. After discussing it, I realized this design is for passengers' emergency self-rescue, as the ability to open doors from the inside is a standard feature. To prevent children from accidentally opening the doors, I recommend activating the child safety locks on the rear doors—just turn a simple switch, and then the doors can only be opened from the outside, without affecting other automatic locking functions. I also regularly check the settings to ensure the car is safe and hazard-free, which shows the manufacturer has considered safety thoroughly. Safe driving is no small matter, and understanding these design details can help prevent accidents.
