Locking Your Vehicle; Passive Key - Ford Ecosport 2013 Owner's Manual

The system will not function if:
• Your vehicle battery has no charge.
• The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The passive key battery is flat.
Note: If the system does not function, you
will need to use the key blade to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
The system allows you to operate your
vehicle without the use of a key or remote
control.
Passive locking and unlocking requires a
valid passive key to be located within one
of the two external detection ranges.
These are located approximately five feet
(one and a half meters) from the front
door handles.

Passive Key

Your vehicle can be locked and unlocked
with the passive key. You can use the
passive key as a remote control. See
Locking and Unlocking (page 35).

Locking Your Vehicle

Your vehicle does not lock itself
automatically. If you do not press a
locking button your vehicle will
remain unlocked.
Locking buttons are located on each of the
front doors.
For central locking and to arm the alarm:
• Press a locking button once.
Note: Your vehicle will remain locked for
approximately three seconds. When the
delay period is over, you can open the doors
again, provided the passive key is within the
respective detection range.
Two short flashes of the direction
indicators confirms that all the doors have
been locked and that the alarm has been
armed.
Unlocking Your Vehicle
Note: Your vehicle remains locked for
longer than three days, the system will enter
an energy-saving mode. This is to reduce
the discharge of your vehicle battery. When
your vehicle is unlocked while in this mode,
the reaction time of the system may be a
little longer than normal. To exit the
energy-saving mode, unlock your vehicle.
