Passive Key; Locking Your Vehicle; Unlocking Your Vehicle - Ford Fiesta Owner's Manual

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 three external detection ranges.
These are located approximately five feet
(one and a half metres) from the front
door handles and the liftgate.

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 34).

Locking Your Vehicle

Locks
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.
For double locking and to arm the alarm,
press a locking button twice within three
seconds.
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 and
the liftgate have been locked and that the
alarm has been armed.
Liftgate
Note: The liftgate cannot be closed and
will pop back up if the passive key is located
inside the luggage compartment with the
doors locked.
Note: If a second valid passive key is
located within the liftgate detection range,
the liftgate can be closed.

Unlocking Your Vehicle

Note: When your vehicle remains locked
for longer than three days, the system will
enter an energy-saving mode. This is to
prevent your vehicle battery running out of
charge. 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.
