Ford 2019 ecosport titanium - auto lock door feature

[spiff]

Need help with this auto door lock issue on the missus ford ecosport titanium.

I find it odd that in this day & age this car either does not have this feature, or it's not enabled - if so how does one enable this feature?

From what I've read, Ford removed that feature.

My mothers 2015 Titanium has it.

Dumb move in a country like SA.

It definitely still has the feature. Just take it to your nearest Ford dealership and they will activate it for you.

I worked for a Ford dealership in 2019 and we had this issue with all the Titanium models (of the Ecosports). There was a reason behind it which I cannot remember now, but it needs to be activated during the PDI, but normally this doesn’t happen because most technicians just rush through it.

That's BS that you need to take it to a dealership to activate it. Most of the other cars I've had you could activate it via the onboard computer.

my thoughts exactly - even my aging 1995 e36 bmw can lock the doors when the ignition is turned on.

she did take it for a service yesterday and specifically asked them to activate the auto lock - they said they did but it still does not work.

I search google for a solution last night, but none of those worked either.
Now she must take time off work again to go back to ford

Smart move in a car that catches on fire.

My mom's 2020 model autolocks. Tested it today when I took it for a drive after reading this thread.

I live "oppie plaas", but surely if you feel unsafe it's not that much effort to reach pass your shoulder?

Feel unsafe? In the city it's a must, so why not use our human ingenuity to automate it so one cannot forget?
