Acura TLX Walk Away Auto Lock 2021 Sedan Specification

The 2021 Acura TLX Walk Away Auto Lock sedan is equipped with a sophisticated security and convenience feature designed to enhance the ownership experience. This system automatically locks the vehicle when the key fob is no longer within a certain proximity, typically about 5 feet, ensuring that the car remains secure without requiring manual intervention from the driver. The Walk Away Auto Lock function is seamlessly integrated with the TLX's keyless access system, utilizing advanced sensors and communication protocols to detect the presence of the key fob.

To activate the Walk Away Auto Lock feature, the key fob must be carried by the driver and the vehicle must be turned off. Upon exiting the vehicle, the system engages as the driver walks away, automatically locking the doors and securing the vehicle. This feature can be customized through the vehicle's multi-information display, allowing the driver to enable or disable it according to personal preference. Additionally, the system is designed to prevent accidental lockouts; if the key fob is detected inside the vehicle, the auto-lock function will not engage.

The 2021 Acura TLX's Walk Away Auto Lock system is a testament to Acura's commitment to blending cutting-edge technology with user-centric design. This feature not only provides added security but also enhances convenience, making it an invaluable addition to the TLX's suite of advanced technologies.
