Why doesn't the Jaguar XEL lock automatically while driving?
2 Answers
Jaguar XEL's failure to lock automatically while driving is due to a receiver malfunction. Reasons for automatic locking failure: The malfunction of the car's automatic locking system can be caused by poor wire contact, damaged door locks, or programming issues, requiring professional inspection and repair at a service center. The purpose of the automatic locking function is theft prevention, allowing the car to lock quickly after starting to prevent door-opening robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, providing a certain level of security. Advantages of automatic locking: When children are on board, their natural tendency to be active may lead them to touch buttons in the car. Automatic locking can protect child passengers by preventing them from opening door handles while the car is in motion, thereby avoiding potential traffic accidents that could result in personal injury or property damage.
I remember when I was driving a Jaguar XE, I also encountered the issue of the doors not automatically locking while driving. Usually, it's because the feature isn't turned on. You need to go into the vehicle's system menu, typically found in the settings on the dashboard or the central control screen, and look for the 'Auto Lock While Driving' option. Once enabled, the doors will automatically lock when the speed exceeds 15 km/h. If enabling it doesn't work, it might be because the doors aren't closed properly or the sensor is faulty. I suggest you first confirm the settings are correct, then check the owner's manual. If that doesn't help, take it to a 4S shop for inspection. Don't overlook this small issue; driving at high speeds with doors not properly locked can be risky. Similar features in some high-end cars are turned off by default and require manual activation. Get into the habit of regularly checking the settings.
