The Sagitar will automatically lock if you forget to lock it. The Sagitar Beyond Edition is a new model under FAW-Volkswagen, featuring rich configurations, including an automatic locking device that activates after the driver leaves the car. Method to set up automatic locking after the driver leaves: Step on the Sagitar's brake pedal; Shift the gear lever to P position; Release the brake pedal; Press the one-touch start button twice consecutively; Close all four doors; Hold down the lock button on the driver's door for more than 10 seconds to complete the setup. Introduction to automatic locking while driving: Automatic locking while driving, also known as speed-sensing automatic locking, is an electronic device. When the vehicle speed reaches a preset value by the computer, the door lock buttons will automatically engage to prevent accidental opening of the doors. The preset speed is generally set by the manufacturer, usually between 10-20km/h.
My Sagitar is equipped with a keyless entry system that automatically locks when leaving the vehicle. This function requires two conditions: the vehicle must be equipped with the KESSY keyless system, and the automatic locking feature must be enabled in the central control settings. Specifically, when you leave the vehicle with the key at a distance of about 1.5 meters and close all doors, the turn signals will flash twice after approximately 30 seconds, indicating that the automatic locking is complete. However, it's important to note that automatic locking will not trigger if the key is left in the car, any door is not properly closed, or if there are passengers remaining in the vehicle. Older or lower-trim Sagitar models may not have this feature, so it's advisable to check the vehicle manual or the vehicle settings on the central control screen. It's best to develop a habit of manually locking the car, as the automatic function may fail due to signal interference, especially in crowded areas like parking lots.
My Sagitar does have the auto-lock feature when I forget to lock it, but only if the car is equipped with keyless entry. I remember one time at the supermarket entrance, I got out of the car and had just taken two steps when I realized I hadn't locked it. As I was pulling out my keys, I heard the doors click and lock themselves. Later, I checked the manual and found out that the trigger mechanism activates only when the key is out of the detection range and all doors are closed, taking about 30 to 60 seconds. However, this feature can sometimes act up. For example, on a rainy day, I left the car after putting things in the trunk with the key still on me, and the car didn't lock. Luckily, nothing was stolen. I recommend actively using the remote to lock the car daily, especially when parking on the roadside at night in residential areas. Don't rely too much on the auto-lock feature. The safety of items inside the car is what matters most.
