* Convenience: It eliminates the need to manually unlock the car door, especially useful in inclement weather or when your hands are full.
* Safety: In some situations, unlocking only the driver's door first can enhance security. This allows the driver to assess their surroundings before fully unlocking the vehicle and potentially exposing themselves or the vehicle's contents to potential threats. It's a way to add a layer of cautiousness to entering the vehicle.
While some Ford Escape models might have an option to unlock all doors at once with the remote, the feature to unlock only the driver's door is generally a selectable option, allowing drivers to choose the level of security they prefer.
