How to stop unwanted approach unlocking on a Leapmotor C10

A car parked close to your house can react repeatedly while you carry its phone key nearby. Start with the key’s locking mode rather than renaming ordinary Bluetooth devices.

Checked against the English BEV manual linked below. China-market reports identify the owner question; they do not establish an export defect, a recall or a guaranteed fix. Match the handbook and equipment in your car, and follow current on-screen instructions where software differs.

THE QUICK ANSWER

Open My Car → Digital Key in the Leapmotor app. Review automatic unlocking and the induction-area setting, or select the documented door-handle locking/unlocking mode. Test the real door state after changing it.

The China-market owner report

A China-market C10 poster reports repeated unlocking while walking near the car, even after changing a setting. The report establishes the symptom only; it does not prove the same software fault exists on export vehicles.

Before you start

Park, close the doors and keep the NFC card outside the car. Make one change at a time so you can tell whether the setting takes effect.

What to check

1Find the key settingsIn the official app, select the correct vehicle in My Car and enter Digital Key.
2Review automatic unlockingCheck the locking/unlocking mode and automatic-unlock option. If you prefer deliberate entry, use the available door-handle mode instead of depending on approach detection.
3Check the detection areaThe manual lists an induction-area setting for unlocking distance. Adjust it only if you want to retain automatic entry.
4Test without leaving valuables exposedWalk away and return once, then confirm the door state directly. If the vehicle ignores the selected mode, retain the physical card and report the behaviour.

Tick steps as you go. Your progress stays in this tab.

Check the result

The successful result is predictable entry in the selected mode. Do not assume a new Bluetooth name, a smaller distance or an app icon proves the vehicle is secured.

Common questions

Is the shortest detection distance a security fix?+

No. It changes the requested operating area; an ignored setting needs investigation.

Should I switch off the phone’s Bluetooth?+

That also removes Bluetooth-key functionality. Use the key controls and keep an alternative working key.
