As a number of people have commented, this really should be a configurable option in vehicle settings. I have a 2015 Edge and this did not work. Very frustrating.

This video is from 2017, naturally it will not work on vehicles older than that.

I own a Ford, but I have to say that in 2018 these kind of functions should be accessible in the central pannel with Sync and not with these turn-off-turn-on-press-the-button nonsense!

Just got my focus and had to come here to find out how to activate this. My old Renault Clio had it accessible via the touch screen and I found it within a few minutes of getting the car and browsing the options

[@wei.future940]

Thank

[@q3b26]

I've just got a new Focus and I'm hoping this works, on my OHs Mini it's programmable using the iDrive, my last Volvo XC40 was using the main settings screen and the Mercedes vans I drive are either in the screen (new van) or just simply hold the lock button until it flashes (old van) Why do ford have to make things so complicated

Why my 2018 Ford Explorer don’t auto lock the doors in park?

[@kazper4137]

I want the doors to auto unlock when in park, regardless of running or not, not convenient with locking tailgate

[@mikefisher8479]

Did you ever get an answer because that's what I'm looking for as well

[@Red_Bearded_Dad]

I really wish the simple function of putting the gear selector in "Park" opened all doors like in every other manufacturers' vehicles. My wife's 2020 Ford Expedition only has two options for auto-unlocking doors: On (Park + Open Driver's Door) or Off. My Honda Pilot has these options: On (1. Park + Open Driver's Door or 2. Park) or Off. Also, there are more options for Auto-Lock ("at speed" or gear selector moved to Drive). The Expedition is amazing and WAY better than a Pilot. No comparison. It's just weird that a vehicle that is more luxurious and over $20K more expensive doesn't have something silly like more auto-lock/auto-unlock options.

[@cathyb5759]

2015 Ford Explorer that suddenly quick locking when leaving after being parked. I have to now remember to lock the doors once everyone is in. Not sure if this was suppose to work for this issue, but it didn't .

[@robertboyd3863]

Why would you want the doors to lock, I hate it when mine lock

[@Harding27]

I have a 2019 Ford Edge and pressing down on the lock and unlock button on the key fob for about 4 seconds worked for me. I was outside the vehicle while pressing the key fobs button! Not sure if that matters

[@LilyAndBehold]

Ford Focus seems to be famous for auto locking when your key is in the ignition and you exit and close the door. It's happened to me too many times with different Ford Focus vehicles. I press unlock, it unlocks, then locks all by itself. It's a battle of wills, really. And super frustrating!

[@Innatefx]

So frustrating. I went to put gas in and shut the door like I normally do… click and I’m locked out. 🤬

[@petelopez5826]

Wow, what is so hard to add it to the vehicle setting within sync3 or sync4 without having to go through all that trouble.

[@danielleadamseaton62]

I couldn’t get these instructions to work for my 2019 ford explorer. No matter how many times I tried it never chirped to enter the programming mode

[@Barsag_]

Doesn't work for Kuga 2015. I actually can hear the double signal only when trying to set Unlock feature, but still no effect when comes to test.

[@Richard86911]

Thanks, I needed this. I have 2010 Ford Escape and it worked like a charm, I'm locking automatically again. Awesome!

I have a brand new KUGA PHEV ST Line X, and can make that happen; not even with the door open as a I found comment says. Is there any other way than this kind of ritual? For example AutoUnlock is an option in my SYNC 3.4 that I can enable/disable. Why Autolock isn’t and how to enable it.

I have to give a huge THANK YOU for having this Video came back from a collision place & all of a sudden my key fob would lock the car but no sound from the horn. Checked the owners manual & nothing for this problem!! I followed your instructions & viola it worked. Keep up with your videos we may need to look up other things not in the Owners Manuel.💯👍👏

[@howardkerr8174]

I just tried this on my 2013 Fusion S, either I am not doing this fast enough, I am missing a step, or it plain DOESN'T work. I never get a " chirp " in what I think is program mode but I will try to find this process in the owner's manual. I have an 2006 Mustang premium convertible and I find it has features that Ford also made needlessly complex. Re-educating the door glass to DROP and the RISE when the engine battery was replaced was a hassle (probably 6 tries) and that was barely covered in the manual.

[@insanewayne75]

Didn't work on my 2018 Kuga Vignale 😢 It just beeps once. Had to stop trying as the neighbours curtains were twitching quite a bit. 😂

[@ZakHolman]

This note might be buried in the comments here but: If you've enabled the dash option to enable / disable auto locks in Forscan, you will need to follow this step by step to allow that option to function correctly. Once I followed this tutorial, the enabled dash options now function correctly.

I have a 2020 ranger and done the whole turn on press 3 times thing but no beep? Does this work for the European models or just US? I want my car to auto lock when driving

Hello, Can you help me. I have a 2020 Ford Fusion. When do I leave the car? headlights on and turned on, I get out of the car as soon as the doors are closed, on the street, it beeps twice, How to turn off this function so that the car does not beep? Thanks

I followed the directions explicity. I can not access the Programming mode. I do not get acknowledment from the car that the programming mode is entered and nothing happens after that.

Hi, Any ideas on how to deactivate the auto alarm, when I want to sleep inside the car and lock the doors using the pilot?

Yes instead of locking your car by the keys, lock the car by pressing the inside locks on the door

There are lot of options hidden with this kind of foolish "key press-2 times brake pedal-1 time accelerator" etc methods. When i tried to configure new keyless entry to my Ford, i figured it out.

i have a mustang 2017 automatic and suddenly the auto lock when you start rolling seems disabled. it was working a week ago. i am trying to enable it like this video suggest but it doesn't work. The doors lock when i press the lock button manually, but i want this auto lock to be enabled again. Am i missing something or should i head to the dealer?

[@dooramoh6685]

Is Ford Escape 2017 lock within the key inside??

[@jacobb6313]

I don't know if I should like or unlike this. I'm leaning towards unlike because this should be in the menu.

[@grantweder4835]

My 2006 Silverado's way of doing this is just push a button on the steering wheel and find "Door Lock" on the dash and hit another button to turn off or on. Man the technology is getting better by the second, isn't it guys.

Here is my dilemma when I put my 2002 ford focus zx5 in drive the doors locked when you put it back in park the doors do not unlock I did everything on the video I got all the chirping noises I deactivated the central Locking System then I redid it and turned it back on and I still have the same results any answers?

[@navi_exl]

Our 2017 Ford Focus SEL and our 2016 Ford Fusion SE do that to. Haven’t had the chance to fully drive and experience our 2018 Ford F-150 since we bought it 2 weeks ago. Would want to know if our 18 f-150 does that. Although we have the 3.3L V6 and the auto start stop is weird I sat at a red light for 2 minutes it shut off when I stopped and came back on before the light was even green

[@FeGoinHeem]

This is not working on my 2018 C-max. I can get it in programming mode because it honks once but nothing happens when I try to toggle off the autolock. The video says to push unlock then lock to disable autolock but the manual says push lock then unlock to disable it? Neither way works or does anything

This works with all Fords, all years, even manual locks. The trick is to open the passenger door a little and have the passenger put one foot on the ground and one hand on the windshield. If it doesn't work at first, just keeping trying and you'll get it.

This feature should be already installed, or be possible to set via display... ... but the most annoying feature are: 1.Informaton from seat belts and seats sensors = every time you have to press OK ( possibility to disable it?) 2.Automatic stop/ start engine. It kills battery. You can disable this function only by disconnecting the connector under the wheel. (!!) 3.Front parking sensor- each time you have to turn it off.
