Will the Audi A6 automatically lock after getting out of the car?

Audi A6's automatic locking is an auto-lock feature that engages when the speed exceeds approximately 20 km/h, automatically locking the doors. However, it does not automatically lock after exiting the vehicle. Only after manually locking and then unlocking the car, if no door is opened or any operation is performed within about one minute, will it automatically relock. Here is additional information: The purpose of the automatic locking function is theft prevention: It allows quick locking after driving, preventing door-pull robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, providing a certain level of security. Auto-locking also safeguards child passengers inside the car: It prevents young children from opening the door handles while the vehicle is in motion.
I often drive my friend's Audi A6, which indeed has an automatic locking feature. After getting out of the car and closing the door properly, when you walk away with the key, you can hear a 'click' sound indicating the car locks itself automatically at a distance of about three to five meters. However, there are a few key points to note: first, the vehicle speed must be below 15 km/h, as driving faster won't trigger the lock; second, all doors must be closed tightly, and the trunk cannot be left open; third, you need to enable the comfort locking function in the settings. Last time, my trunk wasn't closed properly, and I only realized the car wasn't locked after walking away for a while. I recommend new owners to set up the automatic lock in the central control system right after picking up the car, so daily errands like grocery shopping or picking up kids won't be a worry about forgetting to lock the car.
