Ford Fusion: Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems / Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems - Overview. Description and Operation

Overview

The power lock/unlock feature locks or unlocks the doors upon a customer request from a door lock control switch, the keyless entry keypad (if equipped), the passive entry system (if equipped) or a RKE transmitter. The doors can also be locked by using a key in the driver door lock cylinder.

If equipped, the passive entry feature locks/unlocks the doors or releases the luggage compartment lid latch without using a bladed key.

If equipped with an electronic fuel filler door release (hybrid vehicles), 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 when the driver door lock is electronically activated.
