Does your car have auto-locking doors?

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

You need to give credit where credit is due. You uncovered that this is the result of technology and not the devil's voodoo magic. Take the rest of the day off. Buy yourself a treat

Yes
2014 Chevy Ute - locks after 20km/h
2012 Jeep Patriot - locks when revs above 2000r/m

But why have this poll?

You're right...you did NOT make a joke.

Yes, my 06 Polo has it, also autolocks if I walk away without locking. Surprisingly a lot newer models doesn't come with this.

I remember in the early 2000's I had a Renault Laguna i think a 2002. It could auto-lock the doors but the manual had a warning around the lines of "Automatic locking of doors could result in emergency services not being able to reach passengers in the event of an emergency. It is not recommended to lock your doors while driving"

How times have changed

My 2013 Polo has auto locking doors.
My wife's 2010 i10 does not have auto locking doors.

I would not buy another vehicle that does not have this feature as standard.

What about when you open the door to check when you within the parking bay lines with the engine running and car in D but the car thinks you bailing on it and engages the electronic parking brake

Yeap and the car closes your windows and sunroof in preparation for the crash

That part I did not know, but it makes sense. My Astra used to think it was in a crash a lot then

The strangest one is pre sense - you stopped at a red light and a car approaches from side road and the driver is a bit too fast and the car anticipated being T boned and raises the suspension on the one side to take the impact on the floor.

No
Made in 1998 with Central Locking, I don't even know what Auto Locking Doors is, never heard of it

Doors that lock when you reach certain speed.

 

[supersunbird]

No (2010+), and it's assembled in South Africa. What the actual fk Ford.

My Figo has it.
