Watch the video. I had questions like this, until I went and watched all of the videos that ford did a great job producing.

most vehicles? Only Tesla and newer luxury models are coming to mind that actually lock when you walk away without any input from you

Other than Ford, I havent owned a vehicle in years that did not lock automatically, whether it be by fob proximity or a set time after I left the car. Even mid level model Hondas lock when I walk more than 6 feet from the car with the fob in my pocket.

2016 Mazda CX3...Locks automatically when I walk away with the key. Not Tesla and not luxury.

I have literally never heard of this. Always had to either hit the button on the fob or hit the button/ribbed area/whatever on the door handle to have it lock

I had 2020 Mazda CX-30, it would always lock itself 10 seconds after i close the door

My Chevy Volt locks when I walk away and I was really disappointed that I lost that feature with this Maverick. I am trying to force the habit to press the lock button on FOB continuously as I'm walking away from the truck, but its an unnecessary step I feel when the truck (or some aftermarket solution) should be able to lock the truck as the fob leaves the range.

Is it really that much of a chore to tap the lock button on the door, when you exit? I mean, it's right there by the interior door handle.

Hello everyone, I was looking for this info and have found what I was looking for. However I did drive a 14 Focus ST Level ST3 and I believe it did lock when I walked away also. So some Fords must have the option.

My son has a 2016 Ford Edge that has that function. It locks and unlocks, hands free.

The Mustang Mach E has the auto lock feature when you walk away from the vehicle. You have to activate or deactivate it the settings.

This and the tailgate not having a fob sensor is something I miss.

I thought it was really weird to not have this on a loaded Lariat. Mine also came with an outdated SYNC which I was not expecting as I previously had a cheaper Escape with SYNC 3 - from the same year.

But it's an argument for cost cutting because sure, FORD needs to cut cost so TIM can have another vacation in the Maldives.

My husband’s C4 corvette locked itself when you walked away and unlocked when you got close. It even honked the horn twice to let you know. It liked to say “hello and goodbye”.
