What Is Drive Lock?
It’s a very simple device that automatically locks the doors when the car goes over 8mph.
Řekni mi více
Once the 8mph has been reached, the car locks both doors. These will stay locked until you unlock them, they cannot be opened from the outside using the handles.
To unlock them you simply use the interior door handle. When you open one door, the other door still stays locked to maintain security. Alternatively, press the unlock button on the key fob, this will unlock both doors allowing both doors to be opened from the outside.
Surely This Isn’t Safe In A Crash
The system automatically unlocks both doors if the car is envolved in a collision. This allows firefighters and medics to gain access to the occupants.
What Is The Point Of This System?
As cars become harder to steal due to immobilisers and alarms, thieves are now taking cars from people as they pull up at traffic lights. It only takes a few seconds for some armed idiot who wants your car to open the door and either get in the passenger seat or pull you out and drive off. It’s called carjacking.
This Only Happens In South Africa And USA Doesn’t It?
Nope, it doesn’t take long for crooks to pick up new ideas and with the influx of illegal immigrants, this sort of thing will soon be rife. I have personally had my door ‘tested’ at a set of traffic lights by a black guy whilst in Lewisham. Luckily, the door was locked. I also had 4 black guys standing and 1 guy laying in the road in Greenwich. I stopped, the guy got up and all 5 swarmed the car trying to open the doors, 1 pulled a knife and I drove off.
Is It Available On All Smarts?
No, it’s not available on early fortwos.

My Car Doesn’t Have Drive Lock And Now I’m Worried
My 600cc smart didn’t have drive lock either so I made it a habit to lock the doors using the lock button on the centre console even before I have started the engine. Just for peace of mind, I would recommend you do so too.
My Car Used To Do It But Now It Doesn’t
There have been occasions where the drive lock has disabled itself, it’s probably just a bug in the system one time when you unlocked the car. There is also evidence to prove that this system deactivates itself after an impact, probably for safety reasons. Just reactivate it as above or try disconnecting the battery for a while.
