'What does the 'AD' setting do on a Vauxhall Astra?'

I recently purchased a Vauxhall Astra and noticed an 'AD' setting on the dashboard. What does this setting do and when should I use it?

The 'AD' setting on a Vauxhall Astra stands for 'Auto Door Lock' and it automatically locks all doors when the car reaches a certain speed. This is a safety feature and it is recommended to keep it on at all times.

The 'AD' setting is a 'Smart Anti-Theft System' which automatically locks the doors when the car is turned off and you walk away from it. This is a great feature to prevent theft, but can also be a bit annoying if you have a lot of quick stops.

The 'AD' setting can also be used to disable the automatic door locks. This is useful if you have kids or pets in the car and don't want the doors to automatically lock while driving. Just make sure to turn it back on when they are no longer in the car for safety reasons.
