Will the Bora lock itself if the key is inside the car?
2 Answers
Bora will automatically lock if the key is left inside the car. Automatic locking: The design purpose of automatic locking is to prevent vehicle theft and enhance driving safety. After closing the door, the vehicle will automatically lock the doors after a specified period of time, preventing situations where the owner forgets to lock the car after turning off the engine or the doors accidentally open while driving. Prevention methods: When getting out of the car, always turn off the engine, remove the key, and carry it with you. If you must exit the vehicle while it's still running, ensure the handbrake is engaged, the door is not completely closed, or the window is rolled down. Additionally, when retrieving items from the trunk, avoid placing the car key inside the trunk.
I've been driving the Bora for a while and I know its smart key system is quite clever. As long as the key is inside the car or nearby, such as placed on the seat or in a pocket, pressing the lock button usually won't lock the car or it will beep a warning to prevent accidentally locking the key inside. This design relies on sensors detecting the key's position within the car's range to work. However, if the key's battery is dead or the key is placed in a corner of the trunk, the sensor might fail, leading to the car being locked. In daily use, I make it a habit to carry the key with me and not leave it carelessly inside the car to keep the system functioning properly. In case of a lockout, having a spare key is the most reliable solution, or using the manufacturer's app to unlock remotely. Remember to check the manual for detailed instructions on the functions and regularly inspect the key's battery to avoid trouble.
