After you get into a car, bus, train, or other land vehicle, your device can take between 5
and 10 minutes to lock.
•
Note that when you get on an airplane or a boat (or another non-land-based vehicle),
your device may not lock automatically, so be sure to lock it manually if needed.
•
When you pick up your device again or get out of the vehicle, just unlock it once and
your device then stays unlocked for as long as you have it on you.
The On-body detection feature can't distinguish whose body is connected. If you give your
device to someone else while it's unlocked using On-body detection, your device may stay
unlocked for the other user. Keep in mind that On-body detection as a security feature is less
secure than a pattern, PIN, or password.

2
Find and tap Settings > Lock screen & security > Smart Lock > On-body
detection.
3
Tap the slider to enable the function, then tap Continue. To disable the function,
tap the slider beside On.
Connecting to trusted Bluetooth® devices
You can designate a connected Bluetooth® device as a trusted device and keep your
Xperia™ device unlocked while it’s connected to it. So if you have Bluetooth® devices
that you connect to regularly, such as a car speaker or home entertainment system, a
Bluetooth® watch or a fitness tracker, you can add them as trusted devices and bypass
the added security of the lockscreen to save time. This feature is suitable if you’re
normally in a relatively secure place when you use these devices. In some cases, you
may still need to manually unlock your device before a trusted device can be connected.
It is not recommended to add devices that are constantly connected to your device as trusted
devices, such as Bluetooth® keyboards or cases.
As soon as a trusted Bluetooth® device is switched off or moves out of range, your screen
locks and you need your PIN, pattern, or password to unlock it.

Making Sure You're Secure when Using Trusted Devices
Different Bluetooth® devices support different Bluetooth® standards and security
capabilities. There's a chance someone could keep your Xperia™ device unlocked by
imitating your Bluetooth® connection, even if your trusted device is no longer nearby.
Your device is not always able to determine whether your connection is secure from
someone trying to imitate it.
When your device can't determine whether you're using a secure connection, you'll get a
notification on your Xperia™ device and may need to manually unlock it before the
trusted device can keep it unlocked.
Bluetooth® connectivity range can vary depending on factors like the model of your device,
the connected Bluetooth® device, and your environment. Depending on these factors,
Bluetooth® connections can work over distances up to 100 meters.
