Ford 2011 Fiesta Automobile User Manual


 
If both front doors are closed, the vehicle can be locked by any method,
regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Smart locks for intelligent access keys (IA key) (if equipped)
This feature is intended to prevent you from unintentionally locking your
IA key inside your vehicle’s trunk.
If your vehicle’s perimeter alarm is in the armed state, the smart locks
feature will not allow you to lock your IA key inside the trunk. When the
alarm is armed, if the IA key is detected in the trunk, the trunk lid will
automatically be released when you attempt to close it, as a reminder
that the IA key is inside. If you would like to intentionally lock your IA
key in the trunk of your vehicle, first disarm the perimeter alarm by
unlocking the vehicle, then place the IA key in the trunk, close the
trunk, and rearm your perimeter alarm system by locking the vehicle
with the power door locks. For more information on arming/disarming of
the perimeter alarm system, refer to Perimeter alarm system in this
chapter.
Central locking/unlocking
To centrally lock/unlock all doors (from the driver’s side only) using the
key from the outside when they are closed:
Turn the key counterclockwise to lock all doors. The turn signal lamps
will flash twice.
Turn the key clockwise once to unlock the driver’s door or twice to
unlock all doors. The turn signal lamps will flash once.
If the central locking function fails
to operate, the doors can be
individually locked using the key in
the position shown.
On the driver’s side, turn the key
clockwise to lock, and on the
passenger’s side turn the key
counterclockwise to lock.
Delayed Locking
If you try to electrically lock the doors while they are open, they will not
lock until the doors are closed. This feature only works when smart locks
are not active. See Smart locks in this section for more information
