Default Unlocking only the driver's door

I have had my Mondeo MA for two years and I regularly learn new things not stated in the manual. Lock the car and if you hold the lock and unlock buttons on the keyless entry remote together for a few secs (until the indicators flash) then you enable differential door locking. One press of the unlock button unlocks the driver's door alone, another press the remaining 3 doors. One press of the lock button locks the whole car. The whole process is entirely reversible. Just lock the car again and press the lock and unlock buttons together for a few secs till the indicator flash and you're back to one press unlocking all the doors.

Good find, this. I just tried it on my LV CL Focus, and it even works on that.

Just tried it on my WS Fiesta and it also works on that.
Thanks for the info.
Anyone have a consolidated list of undocumented functionality?

There's a lot of info in this thread! Unfortunately some features need to be programmed by a dealer, such as the anti-carjacking, but there's some interesting stuff here.

That anti car jacking I don't think works in the MC.

Sorry that was a bad example as Ford don't support it now due to possible liability issues.

I can set it to to auto lock on the Territory, and my brother in law can on his FG XR6.

No idea why they stopped it on the Mondeo, I reckon it's a great feature.
