in fabia 1.2 amby the doors are to be locked by the switch for locking doors near the gear shifter.can anybody tell me if there is provision for enabling auto door lock when the car speeds upto 15-20km/hr because i have read in reviews from fabia user that it has to be activated from service center.

By default when you get the car it should be enabled. But if it is not, you can get it done at the service centre.

As per Manual once car reaches 15km/hr all doors and boot lid are locked automatically.
Either way Car can be converted to automatic locking mode by service center.

Auto lock is not activated in my car also. Iam not too sure if this feature is available in the classic model.

I think this feature is not provided in classic , think it can be activated for a charge for central locking.

Thanks,

i had my car serviced first time and requested the service center to enable auto door lock as it was not enabled in my car 1.2 htp petrol ambience but the service person could not locate this feature on the service computer during system check and then he asked sales person who replied that this feature is not available in above model.kindly suggest how it can be activated .

When I took delivery of my 1.2HTP Ambiente, I asked the sales person how to activate the autolocking. The sales person told me that it is not possible. Thanks to the info I already got from this forum, I insisted to talk to the a service person in the Garage. He called up the service center and the sales person was informed that it is possible to enable autolocking. Took the car to service centre, 5 mins, job done.

Folks need help, while entering my office, these guys mandatorily need you to open the boot, now when I unlock the car using the central unlock switch, the boot does not get unlocked and I need to open my door for the boot lock to be opened.

Is that a standard thing on all fabias or can this be configured, I find it an inconvenience to open the door every time.

You need to open the door to get the boot to unlock.

Its one way a good security feature.
I have to open the door daily to get the boot checked @ Infosys.
Funny part is the security some times are not able to open the boot.
Probably they are used to opening with the key Laughing

i guess its the same story everywhere in the name of security checks..

i also was made to do the same at my workplace and i hated it when they shut the hatch door with a bang.

i've now moved away the parcel tray into its slot so that the security guy can just peep thru the glass and check whatever he wants to. the boot is empty most of the times.

works for me, no more banging.

finally after three visits to service center and taking personal interest i could get my door autolocking enabled.But still there are many features which i had seen on the vas siemens system for car diagnostics which are to be enabled .
