Ford S-Max "Anti Hijack" auto locking?

[michaeljclark]

I've taken delivery of a 2010 facelifted S-Max Titanium X Sport

With my previous cars, they had an Anti Hijack feature whereby once the car was moving past 5MPH all the doors locked automatically.

The Sales guy at the dealership (Ford) says it can't be done as it's no longer a feature
Ford say take it to the dealership and get them to took it up to the "computer" to see (even with the Reg & VIN their computer couldn't tell me) as they THINK it's there!

Anyone with a 2010 S-Max have this feature (and have it switched on)? - Or anyone here that works for Ford that knows?

Is there a real risk of you being hijacked?

Probably not, but it would be nice to have it switched on if it exists

A visit to the sealers I think!

On this occasion, your dealer's correct.
Ford disabled the possibility to lock all doors when the car's moving a few years ago, fearing lawsuits in case passengers couldn't get out of a car when involved in a RTA.

This has been discussed on www.smaxownersclub.com in years past. (I'm an Admin on the Forum)

Thanks for the info

I'd noticed the smax forum, I will be joining shortly!
