Fun-fact: you can lock any Ford with a 6-sided key (not sure what those are called) of your Ford...
- jaywalk 5y agoFunner-fact: you can lock any car that's unlocked by opening up the door and locking it.
- rootusrootus 5y agoNot my Bolt. Even if the key is nowhere on your person or in the car, it steadfastly refuses to let you lock the door that way. If you push the lock button while the door is open, it immediately unlocks it for you. It would make sense to do that if it detected the fob inside the car. But it does it no matter what.
- doubled112 5y agoIf you lose your keys, you can't lock the car up and come back with the spare? That's not a feature.
- dharmab 5y agoYour spare would be your cell phone app.
- rootusrootus 5y agoI agree, it's not a feature. It's annoying.
- hunter2_ 5y agoI agree, but realistically the car is already locked when you lose your keys, assuming you lock your car when you leave it. An exception would be, say, dropping your keys down a storm drain after getting out and before walking away, but even this is becoming unusual as more cars have push-to-start and capacitive exterior touch areas such that your key is always in your pocket.
- serf 5y agomost modern cars will not let you do this as to prevent accidental car-on-while-locked or locked-keys scenarios.
- mikestew 5y agoMy '82 Honda didn't work that way (it would pop the lock open again when the door was closed), I'd be surprised if anything modern still worked in such a manner (nothing I own does).
- grimmdude 5y agoMany older cars require you to hold the handle up while you close the door to prevent you from accidentally locking yourself out.
- btgeekboy 5y agoWhy bother with a key? > To lock all doors, with the driver door closed, press and hold 7•8 and 9•0 at the same time. You do not need to enter the keypad code first. https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/keys-and-locks/securicode-keyless-entry-keypad/how-do-i-use-securicode-keyless-entry/ https://www.ford.com/support/how-tos/keys-and-locks/securico...
