LOCKED OUT

[Cowgirlkim]

Now you guys have me worried about getting locked out. My truck doesn't have the exterior keypad. I don't use Fordpass so I removed the app as soon as I got home from the dealer from my phone. But I did get out of my truck to open the garage and move some stuff while the truck was still on, key in the ignition and my second key was still in the package from the dealer on the front seat. I could have really screwed myself if that truck auto locked. I have had a couple of vehicles now that have an auto lock/walk away feature where the vehicle automatically locks. It worked pretty well most of the time with the Tesla using your phone. I disabled that feature on the Bolt. I am wondering if there is a setting buried somewhere for the auto lock. Since my Maverick is key operated the Truck doesn't know if the key is in the truck. It should know the key is in the ignition, but shouldn't lock the doors unless I explicitly try to lock it with the key in the truck. Just seems like a bad bad design decision if that is the case.

Now I am thinking maybe I need to get some physical emergency keys cut and on the vehicle in case this does happen. Seems like one more thing to worry about.

My 25 XLT Hybrid has push button start. Key stays in my purse. Vehicle can sense when the key is nearby. I shut down to get fuel leaving my purse inside of Mav. I have trained myself to either leave the door open or driver window down.

The truck doesn't "auto lock" as in the situation you are describing. There are people whose pants are apparently so tight, the keyfob buttons get pressed while in their pockets, and there are people who are accidentally locking the driver's door as they exit it.

For those unwilling or physically unable to stop touching the "lock" lever or button, some creative members have come up with physical deterrents...

I never carry my keys on my body.

Then you are likely in the second category of people I listed in the same sentence.

I do not have keypad. I have not used Ford Pass for anything yet.

It's very handy. I lock my key fob in my Hybrid all the time. But the only way to do that is by using Ford pass. Because they won't allow you to lock the door with the key fob in it without Ford pass. Very handy so I don't have to look for my keys everywhere...
