The All-New P270e

[Workerat]

I recently purchased a brand new Tribeca Blue P270e Edition.
Similar to my previous experience with an EPace P300e.


The last vehicle I drove had a keyless entry system that let me lock and unlock the doors with the touch of a finger.
In an odd quirk, the Evoque's door handle retracts when you click the button to double-lock the door.
Does the approach unlocking/walk away locking method work? I haven't tried it yet.
I'm worried that I won't notice if the car doesn't lock!

Rather than using approach unlock, I consistently employ walk away locking. Been using it for over two years with no problems. Under typical circumstances, it works perfectly fine. However, if you do something strange, like leave the hood up for an hour while you wash the car, it might fail. Checking sure the handles are flush as you leave is always a good idea.

Hi there,
The keyless entry features of my P300e MY21 do not work when I try to open or close it automatically. To open and close the doors, I still have to use the button on the handle. The Remote app only reminds me to close them if I forget, and if I hit the button twice while closing, I can lock them from the inside.
Has this been available on the P270e since MY23, or is it brand new?

It's a brand-new function; I can't say for sure when it debuted, but I think it was with the release of MY24.

I tried both the approach unlocking and the walk away locking options, but I ended up disabling both because it was really annoying whenever I washed the car and would unlock again if I was near it with the key in my pocket. I also assumed it didn't double lock the car because it didn't beep, which is my preferred method of security.

I have both of them turned on, but I lock them by hand. I use them as a backup in case I forget to do it myself. However, I adore the open approach, but I do limit it to the passenger side.
Today, I noticed something new—that in order to pull the car up the driveway, I had to wear my seat belt. That certainly wasn't the situation in the vehicle; it simply wouldn't budge! It was my belief that I had broken it 🥂.

Thank you all for your replies.
Before turning off all electronics and turning on the alarm, I always double-lock the car. Pressing the car's lock button will restore walk-away locking to its default state; otherwise, it will not work.
I'm going to try unlocking the approach.

Even if it locks the car, the "beep" won't go off when you walk away from it. Passive locking instructs lockup directly from MY24 Evoque; the "single-lock only" state is an intermediary.
