Auto-Lock Door Bypass

ChrisSlicks · 09-06-2010, 07:59 AM

You can turn it off, the process is described in the owners manual. It was something like turn the car to the On position (but not started) and then hold down the lock button for 5 seconds until the lights flash. Repeat for the unlock button if you wish to disable auto unlock.

Read owners manual. It is controlled by left side gauge where MPG, maintenance, etc., and goto SETTINGS, and change it.

Yes, lock and unlock and configurable separately.

Thoughts????

I hate my seatbelt too. I'm constantly getting my AK stuck in the damn seatbelt during drive-bys. Frustrating!!

I agree with you. Those auto locks were a nuisance to me, too. They can easily be disabled. Check your owner's manual.

Seatbelts should be a no-brainer in any situation. I volunteered in a Shock Trauma admitting area when I was younger. You could tell without asking when someone was in a wreck with or without a safety belt. And ingress/egress speed should be secondary to what could happen if you're hastily moving in the vehicle and come to an abrupt and unexpected halt (i.e. another car).

just my penny, penny

Thats very unusual that your agency is letting you use your personal vehicle as part of a sec convoy. Even as a chase vehicle which is also unusual for a sec convoy (the tactical mind set is usually to get the client away from the threat). Each vehicle is usually four seaters (to accomodate the min standard two agents + the VIP) so that each one can be used incase any number of the convoy vehicles is/are disabled. Not to mention that Z being a poor choice with it's poor rear visibility (tactically speaking) and low seating position. Steering wheel to weapon transition must be a biotch.

as an example:

edit: Sorry I'm saying chase when I'm thinking pursuit (car).

AtomicRob,

Your comments are right on target for most. I guess it is a matter of personal preference regarding timing and response. Actually, headed to a new job now so it is possible I can relax, play with my seatbelt, enjoy locks that think for me, and deal with airbag deployment much easier. Like I said, personal preference. :-) I would also say that I think that those that do not wear helments and drive motorcycles are a little off BUT many said I was an idiot for jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. I just try to let the individual be themselves and let Darwins theory weed out the rest.

Ronin06 · 01-19-2015, 07:36 PM

The auto locking feature on the 2014 cannot be disabled. To all those that say refer to the manual only the auto unlocking feature can be disabled 3-5.

I for one would like to disable the auto locking feature. Since I pull up to drop off a friend and the doors are locked. This should be a configurable function.

cames4 · 01-21-2015, 12:09 AM

I had the dealer turn off the auto-locking feature on my 2014 Touring Z. I would check with them since they showed me but do not remember the steps.

Just bought a 2015 Mazda 3 Hatchback and it has the doors lock when walking away feature. So far I like that feature but did notice in the setup menu it can be turned off.
