The Passat will not lock itself if you forget to lock it. Forgetting to lock the car after parking happens occasionally, which poses a risk of theft of belongings inside the vehicle. Normally, when the key is removed to cut off the power and the doors are closed, the driver needs to actively lock the car using the remote key. Try to use the mechanical key to lock the car: When locking the car, it's more reliable to use the mechanical key, as this makes any signal jammers ineffective. If you don't mind the slight inconvenience, using the mechanical key more often can also save battery power and is even more secure than using the smart key. When using the mechanical lock, make sure all doors are properly closed, and you should hear the sound of all doors locking. Otherwise, the car hasn't been successfully locked. Automatic locking while driving: Automatic locking while driving, also known as speed-sensitive auto-locking, is an electronic device that automatically presses the lock button on the doors when the vehicle reaches a preset speed set by the computer, preventing accidental opening of the doors. This means that when the car reaches a certain preset speed, the locks automatically engage. The preset speed is usually set by the manufacturer, typically between 10-20 km/h.
