Autolocks

[LinaMay]

Is there a way to disable the AUTOLOCKS on the 2020 Platinum Explorer?

Lots of good/useful information in the Manual.

I found that ... I am looking to disable the AUTOLOCKS! So that the doors DON'T LOCK when you start to move the vehicle!

Yes I agree and I have read the manual BUT what I am looking for is to disable the AUTOLOCKS! So that the doors DON'T LOCK when you start to move the vehicle!

I just checked my ST and I only found the option to turn the Autounlock on or off. Nothing for the Autolock. So unless I'm missing something it looks like it can't be changed. You might post the question in the Forscan Discussion. 2020 FORSCAN Discussion

Autolock
Autolock locks all the doors when

• All doors close.
• The ignition is on.
• You shift into any gear putting your vehicle in motion.
• Your vehicle reaches a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h)

Autolock repeats when

• You open then close any door while the ignition is on and your vehicle speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or lower.
• Your vehicle reaches a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).

Autounlock
Autounlock unlocks all the doors when

• You stop your vehicle, place the gear selector in park, and switch the ignition off or to accessory position.
• You open the driver door within 10 minutes of switching the ignition off or to accessory position.

Note: The doors do not autounlock if you electronically lock your vehicle after you switch the ignition off and before you open the driver door.
Enabling or Disabling Autounlock
You can enable or disable the autounlock feature in the information display or an authorized dealer can do it for you. See General Information.

Understood. Being that it is probably considered a 'Safety' feature, there is nothing in the Manual that shows how to disable "AUTOLOCK" in any of the settings.
BTW, I did a 'Search' on "lock" in the large 5th gen forum thread on FORScan and there was no mention of it in regards to autolock.

I found this post 2020 explorer door locks Check # 4. I don't know if it works as I haven't tried.

Have my doubt it works. From checking more I think that is for older vehicles. But I did see where some people did use Froscan on a 2020 F150 to disable auto lock.

Hi, even after reading the user manual (general information as mentioned) I could not manage to find where to auto lock or Auto Unlock the doors while driving. Someone could advise how to do it please?

 

[peterk9]

I don't know if you can unlock the doors while driving. I haven't tried it, nor do I want to, on my Aviator. I believe the only way to unlock the doors on the 2017 Platinum I had was to put the vehicle in Park. The doors automatically lock (Autolock) once you reach 20 km/h.
As for Autounlock the following is from the Owner's Manual;
Auto unlock unlocks all the doors when
• You stop your vehicle, place the gear
selector in park, and switch the ignition
off or to accessory position.
In other words, the Autounlock will not work while you are driving.

Hi Peter, thanks for your reply. May be my question was not clear enough. In fact when starting to drive doors remain unlocked. So I’m trying to find the option to set auto lock to ON…sorry for this trivial question

 

[peterk9]

In checking the Owner's Manual, I don't see an option to enable or disable 'Autolocks'. It does say Autolock (if equipped). I would find it hard to believe that the Limited hybrid doesn't have the Autolock feature. Check and see if there Is a setting for 'Locks', perhaps under the 'General' tab.
I don't know if this might help.

I would be also surprised as such feature is like a standard for me…I have already tried to enter the programming mode like said in the video but no success…I will try again just in case otherwise I will visit my favorite Ford dealer

I think the directions here are different than the video. How to enable or disable Ford Autolocks
It might be worth trying.
