Turning Your Ford Autolock On and Off
A wonderful feature in your Ford vehicle is the ability to secure all your doors once you begin your journey. Your doors will automatically lock once your vehicle reaches the speed you've preset. You can also have the settings unlock all of your doors once the engine has been turned off and you've opened up your driver-side door. Popular models like the F-150, Explorer, Ranger, Bronco, and Escape all offer this convenient auto lock when driving feature.
This feature enhances your family's safety while also adding everyday convenience. To adjust this feature, you'll need to follow a few simple steps. To make the process straightforward for our Mall of Georgia community, we've included some helpful directions below.
Accessing Your Programming Mode
Before you can adjust your auto-lock and unlock features, you'll need to access the programming mode. Turn on the vehicle and press the unlock door button three times. You will then turn off your car and press the unlock button three times. When you turn on the vehicle again, you'll hear a beep or chirp that indicates you've successfully entered your programming mode.
Switching Between Turning On/Off Ford's Automatic Door Lock
Once you're in your vehicle's programming mode, you can adjust the automatic door locking feature. Press the door unlock button, then press the lock button. You will hear the horn sound one time to indicate that you have turned off your automatic door lock feature. If it honks twice, your auto-lock feature has been turned back on.
Changing Your Auto-Unlock Feature
If you wish to adjust your auto-unlock features, press the lock button in your vehicle one time and immediately press the unlock button while in programming mode. If you hear the horn sound once, you have turned off the auto-unlock feature. If the horn sounds twice, it means that it is back on.
Ford's Walk Away Auto-Lock Feature
Many newer Ford models offer a convenient walk away auto-lock feature. This thoughtful technology automatically secures your vehicle when you exit with your key fob and move a certain distance away. Available on several models including the Explorer, F-150, and Edge, this feature provides extra peace of mind during your busy day.
To enable walk away auto-lock on compatible vehicles, you'll typically access the settings through your vehicle's information display or SYNC system. The exact steps may vary by model, so our team is always ready to provide personalized guidance.
