Ford Escape: Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems / Description and Operation - Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems - Overview
Overview
The power lock/unlock feature locks or unlocks the doors upon request from any of the following inputs:
-
Door Lock Control Switch
-
Keyless entry keypad (if equipped)
-
Passive entry system (if equipped)

The driver door can also be unlocked/ locked manually using the mechanical key in a door lock cylinder.
If
equipped, the passive entry feature automatically locks or unlocks the
doors, or releases the liftgate latch (manual liftgate) or power opens
the liftgate (power liftgate).
If

excessive fuel vapor pressure is removed from the fuel tank before the
fuel filler door latch is released.
If
equipped with a fuel filler door lock (non-hybrid vehicles), the fuel
filler door lock operates in conjunction with the electronic driver door
lock/unlock operation. When the driver door is electronically locked or
unlocked, the fuel filler door is also electronically locked or
unlocked.
Rear doors have mechanical child lock from the access above each rear door latch.

Tire Pressure Monitor (TPMS)
Activation

sensors do not transmit information while in sleep mode. It will be
