How can I disable autolock. I don't like it

[elliemay1]

//Usually if you hold the lock/unlock button on the dash down for about 5 seconds there will be a beep and the autolocking is de-activated.//

[jennyjoan]

I read that Ellie but I can't see any button on the dash to hit. Having this lock makes me claustrophobic

[elliemay1]

I wouldn't like it either, jenny, I'd feel trapped

[elliemay1]

Did you get a handbook when you bought the car?

[jennyjoan]

It a second hand car. Yes there is a manual and have read about the door locking but I tried most of it

[ladybirder]

Pop into your local garage JJ. They'll likely help you as it shouldn't take them more than a couple of minutes.

[jennyjoan]

I know that lb but was trying to do this alone as I have already been back with the local mechanic and gave them 40 pounds my seller of this car is not helping me at all

[Giggsie]

JJ there should be a button with a padlock sign on it on the dash somewhere just press and hold it.

No button on my i30, I was told the main dealer has to do it.
Don't know if that is true

Try this:
(To make the video easier to view, after clicking the 'Play' button, click on the 'Full screen' icon at the bottom right).

It doesn't lock you in. It just locks the wrong uns out.

Have just had a little of reassurance from my neighbour who is also my friend's son. I am in and out of my "new" car and he was also outside and I asked him could he remove the autolock.

Of course he at 21 years of age he couldn't understand my understanding. - I said "when you get in and go a certain mileage the lock comes on - yeah he said but when anybody opens a door either front or back - that's it Now I did try earlier on locking from inside but will give this a pretty good try tomorrow.

I just worried that any passenger I could have had couldn't get out if I took ill behind the wheel. but, apparently - passengers just have to open their door and the deed is done. Everybody can get out. I will give that a try and I know that it will be ok. But thanks for any help from yourselves.

My Hyundai auto locks but my passengers can still open the doors to get out.
A friend had her handbag snatched from the passenger footwell when she was stopped at lights some years ago. Only took a second.
