Ford Fusion: Locking and Unlocking / Activating Intelligent Access

General Information

You can unlock and lock the vehicle without taking the keys out of your pocket or purse when your intelligent access key is within 3 ft (1 m) of your vehicle. Intelligent access uses a sensor on the back of the door handle for unlocking and a separate sensor on the face of each door handle for locking.

The system will not function if:

  • Your vehicle battery has no charge.
  • The key battery has no charge.
  • The passive key frequencies are jammed.

Note: The system may not function if the passive key is close to metal objects or electronic devices, for example keys or a cell phone.

Note: If the system does not function, use the key blade to lock and unlock your vehicle.
