Auto Door Locking?

Featured Replies

Hi, looking for sone more advise please,

I have a new shape 2010 fiesta zetec, is there a setting where the doors will automatically lock when the car reaches a certain speed?



Its been asked before but nobody seems to know, i do know that on my old ST focus you could get the dealer to program it, but it wasnt something you could do yourself

i know you can do it on a MK6, i had instructions and ive posted before. i also asked the same question as i have a MK7. but no luck. i asked my dealer aswell and they didnt know if it could be done.

Please tell :D

must be able too.... seems abit daft if the older version could but the newer one wont, i have a few kids in the back now and again cos i take my cousins out now and again so this could do good :)

i have just spoken to our master technician and he says that it is more than likely done by IDS at a ford dealer

On the BRISKODA Forum there is a lot of talk of using VCDS on a laptop to enable quite a lot of functions yourself.

Is IDS or 3rd party equivalent available for Ford Owners / Enthusiasts to use as well ?

If it is, I just wonder what else can be done.

Please tell :D

1. Turn on ignition until the dash lights come on but don't start engine!

2. Lock the door using the lever on the door handle and then unlock 3 Times

3. Turn off ignition

4. Repeat 2 but with ignition OFF

5. Turn on ignition - should hear a beep

6. Lock door again as in 2 BUT ONLY ONCE - final beep should be heard

7. Done!

This isn't for the new Fiesta, we don't have a lock on the door.

Oh well, maybe some enterprising company will come up with it some day.

I done this to the exact method, although in step 6 I locked and then unlocked (Could this be the problem). The problem is it works all fine and well but when i open door to get out while engine is running or turn off car and re-start it doesn't lock. Its like its only programmed for that one ignition start :lol:

I done this again and it works perfect this time (never unlocked just turned off engine)

Thanks alot :D

Just tried this on my Mk6 1.4 TDCi but didn't work, no beeps at all. Will have another try later.
