I've driven a 2015 Ford Escort, and activating the auto-lock feature is really convenient. It automatically locks the doors when the car starts moving, preventing them from being accidentally opened while driving. The operation is simple: after getting in the car, make sure all doors are closed, sit in the driver's seat, turn the key to the ON position without starting the engine, then press and hold the unlock button on the key for about 5 seconds. A beep sound or flashing lights indicate successful activation. After that, when the car reaches about 15 km/h, the doors will automatically lock. This is especially safe, protecting child passengers. I always set this up first—it's worry-free and practical. If activation fails, check if the doors are properly closed or if the battery is sufficient. Don’t rush; just try a few more times. Driving safety comes first, and this small feature is a big help.
