Is there any way of turning off the walk away lock? In some situations, I'd like to leave the car open. But short of leaving the key (phone or fob) in the car, it locks when I walk away. Is the only answer to then unlock through Ford Pass? Couldn't find anything in the manual or in the forums. Thanks for any help.

I had a Tesla owner today tell me he has a setting on his car where he can enable walk away lock at all locations except when he's at home. I hope they can do that for the Mach E soon with an update. I'd like for it to lock except when my car is in the garage.

Is it possible to turn off the mobile alert for this? I like the other FordPass alerts but this specific is particularly annoying because I’ll get multiple alerts for leaving my phone or keys nearby in the kitchen
