Unlocking the Doors with the Keyless Entry Keypad

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Vehicles equipped with passive entry come from the factory set with the 2-stage unlock feature disabled (all doors unlock when the factory keycode is entered).

To unlock the driver door, enter either the factory set code or a personal code (each digit must be pressed within 5 seconds of the prior digit). The illuminated entry feature activates unless disabled.

If the 2-stage unlock is enabled, enter the factory set code or a personal code (driver door unlocks) and then touch the 3/4 button within 5 seconds to unlock all doors. This feature can be changed to a 1-stage unlock using the message center settings.
