Passive Key?

I've just taken delivery of a new mondeo titanium estate. It has a power start button (don't need to put a key in to start the car). Does this unlock the car without me pressing unlock button (passive?). If so, how do I enable it? Thanks.

    Thanks. So my key is not "keyless entry" then?

    Cheers

    My Focus has keyless start but not keyless entry.

    Best combination imo.

    You just use the buttons on the fob to lock/unlock the car, and if the battery ever goes flat, you just pop the blade out and use it on the drivers door.
