Right, start the car, turn off the child lock, (if it's on, on the dash) Hold down the lock button on the dash for a few seconds. You should here a bong noise. Next time you drive off, the doors will lock after you go above 5mph or so. Amazing what you can discover if you lean on the dashboard by accident! Oh yeah, repeating the process turns the auto locking off again.

Funny enough I used to have it activated for a awhile but it was getting on my mothers nerves.lol I would take her down town then I would Drive around untill she finshed in the shops then when I go to pick her up she would have bags of shopping and she couldn't open any of the doors. So I deactivated it.

Depends on the model of Clio. Most do though.

This is one of the best auto functions on a car. It ensures that when you are driving you can not be highjcked by the oppertune door opener in the street.

 

You may also be interested in trhe action of the blipper. When you lock the doors with the blipper the first press of it will lock all the doors and the boot. However that is a deadlock condition and anyone in the car trying to get out will not be able to as all the door handles are disabled. the second blip locks the doors but removes the deadlock function and now those in the car can get out even the mother in law. The outside handles are however still disabled.

 

in the event of acrash an inertia switch unlocks all the doors sop that rescue crews can get you and the mother in law OUT.

Does the auto locking work on all C3s ? We have a 2003 1.4SX and I can not get it to work. Holding the dash lock button down just does one lock or unlock. Have tried with/without the engine running and the ignition key in the different positions.
