New Honda owner

If you find it, let me know but I don't think it's there. I broke with tradition and actually looked through the manual and was unable to find that feature for my 2006 Accord.

You're right about one thing, though. Great cars!

I would not have purchased my 2004 Accord EX-L if it had this feature. What purpose does it serve? If you need your doors locked, hit the button right before you put on your seatbelt.

Automatically locking doors ranks right up there with DRL's. I won't buy a car with these pseudo-safety features.

As an aside, yes, wear my seatbelt (always have and always will) and no, i do not support a seat belt law.

agreed!!! :~)>

As far as I know, that is a American-mfr-only feature. Never encountered it on any Japanese cars. Personally, I find it irritating and useless. I would spend some time researching how to disable it if it showed up on any of my cars.

My '00 Toyota Avalon XLS had it and it was a real PIA.

On stopping, the driver's door could be opened but before any passenger door could open, they (or the driver) had to hit the unlock button.

Congratuations on your purchase! She is not a Dodge...you won't need that warranty, take care of it , and you will never look back!

Did you think to look in the owner's manual?

It is there, but you have to set it...

Just a clarification, in case I was wrong ;-), I have an 06 Civic Si, and this feature is, indeed, available on the civic line by following a simple procedure with the ignition and the door lock switch. It is possible that it isn't there for an Accord, but that would seem very odd to me...

Can't seem to find it online, I'll try to remember to check it next time I'm in the car. Not that I want it, but I'm curious. Anybody want to buy my unused cruise control? :)

I THOUGHT I'd scoured the 2006 Accord owner's manual front to back for it and never found it. I'll try again as I'm one of those (perhaps in the minority) that likes that feature. Then again, as you say, it may only be on the Civic line. Oh well. Thanks!

LOL.

The procedure is not a very straightforward one. Something like turn the key to II, push down the lock button for 10 seconds, or something like that.

As for cruise, I use mine daily. Good for mileage, and keeps me from going

75 on the highway. The Si is just too easy to get going good and fast... ;-)

Not to mention an excellent trade!

Nope, don't see it in the 2007 Accord EX book.

But I do see a warning about pulling out the ignition key while the car is in motion.

J.

Yep, that would result in a different kind of lock up. Not very good one at that.

I, too, double-checked my owner's manual. No mention that I could find anywhere of automatic locking of the doors on the 2006 Accord.

Yeah, I did.

It's not there. If you're gonna make smart-ass replies, be sure you're right first, so you don't look like a fool in public.

Thanks anyway.

Thanks. Strange that it apparently *is* there on the Civic, but not the Accord. Oh well.

Thanks. I didn't see it either, but was wondering if it was perhaps a "secret undocumented feature"...

Thanks for your opinion. I find it a useful feature, whether you do or not.

That's nice. What does that have to do with my question?

It locks the doors without any required action by the driver/passengers, as the name of the function would seem to imply...

Yeah. No shit. What does that have to do with my question?

Again, your (unrequested) opinion is noted. In the future, don't bother replying to a question of mine, if you don't know the answer. Have a good one.

Thanks, I will.
