Locking The Vehicle; Passive Key - Ford Mondeo Owner's Manual

Note: If the door handles are pulled
repeatedly during a short period of time
without the presence of a valid passive key,
the system will become inoperable for 30
seconds.
The passive entry system will not function
if:
The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
The passive key battery is flat.

valid passive key to be located within one
of the three external detection ranges.
These are located approximately one and
a half metres from the driver and front
passenger door handles and the luggage
compartment lid.

Passive key

The vehicle can be locked and unlocked
with the passive key. The passive key can

Locking the vehicle

The vehicle does not lock itself
automatically. If no locking button is
pressed, the vehicle will remain
unlocked.
Note: The ignition will automatically switch
off when you lock your vehicle from the
outside. This is to prevent the vehicle battery
from discharging.
Note: If locking from the luggage
compartment lid, the passive key must be
within the luggage compartment lid
detection range.
