The Ford EcoSport has a central locking system that is operated electrically, rather than purely mechanically like in some other cars. The EcoSport also has a feature called Auto Lock, which automatically locks all of the doors once the vehicle reaches a preset speed. However, it’s important to note that the EcoSport does not lock automatically if you exit the car and walk away. It will only relock if you unlock the car and don’t enter it within a certain time period, typically around 30 seconds. So, you can rest assured that the EcoSport will not lock itself if you leave the car and walk away.
