Access to the Ford Mustang (VI Gen) is controlled by intelligent locking and unlocking systems. Operation via remote control or door switch allows convenient everyday handling. The trunk system is also optimized for easy access, with a particular focus on security and protective functions. Thanks to automatic relocking and flexible programming options, the Mustang always remains well secured.

The door lock switch or the remote control can be used to lock and unlock the vehicle.

Power Door Locks

The door lock switch is located in the door trim panel on the driver and passenger sides.

A Unlock

Door Lock Indicator

When you lock the doors, an LED on each door window trim panel illuminates. It remains lit for up to 10 minutes after the ignition is switched off.

Door Lock Switch Lockout

When you lock your vehicle electronically, the door lock switches stop working after 20 seconds. You must unlock your vehicle with the remote control or switch off the ignition to restore the function of these switches. You can turn this function on or off via the information display.

See General Information.

Remote Control:

The remote control can be used at any time.

Note: The trunk release button only works at a vehicle speed below 8 km/h.

Unlocking the Doors

Press the button to unlock all doors. The turn signals flash.

Note: The driver's door can be unlocked with the key if the remote control does not work.

Note: If the vehicle is left unattended for several weeks, the remote control is switched off. You must then use the key to unlock the vehicle and start the engine. After unlocking and starting the vehicle once, the remote control works again.

Reprogramming the Unlock Function

You can reprogram the unlock function so that only the driver's door unlocks.

Press the unlock and lock buttons on the remote control together for three seconds to switch between driver's door unlock mode and all doors unlock mode. The turn signals flash twice to confirm the change in unlock mode. In driver's door unlock mode, pressing the unlock button once unlocks only the driver's door. In all doors unlock mode, pressing the unlock button once unlocks all doors. The unlock mode applies to the remote control. You can also switch between unlock modes via the information display. See General Information.

Locking the Doors

Press the button to lock all doors. The turn signals flash.

Note: If a door or the trunk is open, or on vehicles with a theft alarm system or remote start system if the hood is open, the turn signals do not flash.

Never use the double lock when people or animals are in the vehicle. The doors cannot be unlocked or opened from the inside when double locked.

Double lock is a theft protection feature that prevents the doors from being opened from the inside. It only works when all doors are fully closed.

Press the button twice within three seconds.

Automatic Relocking

The doors automatically lock again if no door is opened within 45 seconds after unlocking the doors with the remote control. The door locks and the theft alarm system return to their previous state. You can turn this function on or off via the information display.
