2012 Focus setting the auto-lock function while driving specific operation steps are as follows: 1. Open the driver's door of the Focus. 2. Press the one-touch start button of the Focus. 3. All the instrument lights of the Focus light up, indicating that the engine is started. 4. Hold down the door lock button, do not release it immediately, continue to hold it for more than 5 seconds, the Focus auto-lock function while driving is activated. The following are additional notes: The purpose of the auto-lock function is anti-theft. It can quickly lock the doors after driving, preventing door pull robberies during traffic jams and at red lights, providing a certain level of security. It also protects child passengers inside the car, preventing young children from opening the door handles while the car is in motion.
I've been driving my 2012 Focus for quite some time, and the auto-lock feature is really convenient to set up. I remember when I first got the car, I was curious about how to enable it. After checking online, I found it was quite simple. Here's how to do it: Sit in the driver's seat, insert the key and turn it to the ON position—just don't start the engine. Then, fiddle with the buttons on the right side of the steering wheel to navigate through the dashboard menu. Find the vehicle settings section, where there's a door lock option. Click into it and activate the auto-lock feature—done! By default, the doors automatically lock when the speed exceeds 15 km/h, making driving much safer. I really love this feature, especially in city traffic where I don’t have to worry about the doors being accidentally opened. Last time I took my daughter out, even though she was fidgeting in the back seat, everything was fine. The Focus’s design is thoughtful in this regard, and the setup is quick—just two or three minutes to complete.
