Does your car have auto-locking doors?

[geezer]

Nope kuga does not auto lock, but everybody is too afraid to steal it lol

Maybe have a look at this: https://www.kugaownersclub.co.uk/threads/auto-lock-doors.14227/

I had a car once where the driver's door would open by itself.... While I was driving.

Its insane that you would want your car to lock when your are not locking it your self.

So the main issue is that it will lock when I close the boot. Its happened more than once that because it auto locks I need to have the keys in my hand all the time, then because I have other things in my hands the keys will get dropped and often that means they fall in the boot.

So then the converse is true that if the kids don't close the doors properly it then wont lock at all. So everything looks fine but actually the car is completely unlocked and wont lock even if you press the button on the key. Also it goes through the motions of flashing the lights but none of the doors will lock.

More annoying is the double lock.... so if you press the unlock once it will just unlock the drivers door. Then the second lock will unlock the rest of the doors. So if you unlock and then take longer than a minute to open any of the doors you will have to find the keys and then open twice...
Try doing this with kids and hands full of shopping etc.

Every single car I've had (except my first 1989 corolla) did that. It's so that if you unlock by accident then it doesn't stay open.

2019 Rav 4 GXR. Locks when I take it out of park.

Auto locking for me means the doors automatically lock when I start driving. Thats a great feature.

Absolutely, should be compulsory for any car in South Africa to have this.

I've owned it for 8 years. Have stage 2 on it. I refuse to sell. Might track it one day.

Isn't that what it means?

 

[Iceman360]

Yes

 

[pinball wizard]

I thought so. Then this guy comes in waffling about unlocking his car with his hands full of groceries and what happens when the kids don't shut the car doors properly. I thought maybe a definition was needed for the slow ones.

I don't even have a car and my beer does not have that feature.

And the cell doors?

Probably keyless. Good keyless systems will not lock with FOB inside the vehicle.

yes, but I have deactivated it, don't trust it

Nope they don't lock normally with the fob near or inside it.

Iv had auto locking in every car. Even my 1993 conquest 180i had an aftermarket alarm that locked my car.
I also have keyless now which locks car as im walking away. super convenient. though once i left my keys in the car and went to work for 8 hrs!

What happens if you accidently left the keys on the passenger seat while you were taking out your 4 cases of beer?

4 cases are you cutting down

Jirre...you do know it is technology, not magic or the work of the devil?

It is literally impossible to lock a FOB inside a vehicle.
