Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems: Auto-Unlock

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: The doors do not auto-unlock if the vehicle has been locked using a door lock control switch, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, or keyless entry keypad before the driver door is opened.

The auto-unlock feature unlocks all the doors when the following conditions are met:

the ignition switch is in the RUN position
all the doors are closed
the vehicle has been in motion at a speed greater than 20 km/h (12 mph)
the vehicle then comes to a stop
the ignition is switched to the OFF or ACC position
the driver door is opened within 10 minutes of the ignition being switched to the OFF, LOCK or ACC position

Refer to Autolock and Auto-Unlock Programming for programming information.
