How to Set Up Automatic Door Locking for Ford Escort?

[OJohn]

Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, which powers on the electrical system but does not start the engine. Press and hold the lock button on the driver's side door for about 5 seconds until you hear a beep, then release the lock button. Press the unlock button five times consecutively, and after hearing five beeps, the setup is complete. Below is an introduction to the automatic locking feature: 1. The purpose of the automatic locking function is theft prevention. It allows the doors to lock quickly after driving, preventing door pull robberies during traffic jams or at red lights, providing a certain level of security. It also protects child passengers inside the car by preventing young children from opening the door handles while the vehicle is in motion. 2. Its disadvantage is that it may hinder escape. The central locking system is a combination of mechanical and electronic devices. In the event of an accident, if the electronic equipment fails, passengers can still open the car door to escape (provided the door lock is not damaged). However, if all occupants inside the car are unconscious, rescuers outside may waste more time trying to open the doors.
