Are we able to auto lock all doors once the car is put into Drive? I know the newer gen civics are able to do this, but cant see to find if my 04 can

 

Do you mean with the original "remote" control device or with the control on the driver's door?

I know my car will auto-lock/unlock all 4 doors with the control on the driver's side door when the car is in drive, or any other gear for that matter.

I think it would also do the same with the remote, but I'd have to try it; maybe tomorrow.

*edit: no, with the remote, I cannot engage or disengage the door locks while driving.

 

Here is a link for an online owners manual for the 2003 HCH. I don't believe there are any differences between the 2003 and 2004 models.

While I noticed my 2010 Insight does the auto-lock thing after I hit 10MPH or so, my 2003 Civic never did this. It isn't mentioned in the online manual so I doubt it has the feature.

By the way, with my Insight I can program whether the doors auto-lock when I shift from park, when I hit about 10MPH or it can be disabled. It's more than likely the same for the Gen2 HCH.

 

@Gairwyn I meant after you start driving, the newer car will automatically lock the doors after 10mph.

@mrkcohen yeah I look in my manual too and didn't find anything about the auto-lock feature. Oh well thought I ask.

 

I don't remember that the car ever did that. I had an alarm system installed which changed the parameters somewhat, but if I remember correctly I used to manually do the locking of the doors. I couldn't find any info that said anything about it in either the owner's manual or the service manual.
