Thought I’d share my experience with these 2 functions (which I love) knowing that there are some Ford employees that lurk around. PAAK needs to be a little more sensitive I’d say. Unless the truck is on as in remote start or pre conditioning most of the time the welcome lighting and running boards deploying don’t happen. Once I put my hand in the handle it then usually still will take a couple of seconds for the truck to “wake up” and then all is fine. Just to clear up I’m using an iPhone 16 and I have tried having the ford pass app open with screen on as well as phone in pocket etc. makes no difference either way I get the same results. If I walk up or near the truck with the key it always wakes right up even when the truck is off without fail. Now WAL is another great feature. It’s something I liked about GM. They have had this feature for yrs. So the way GM does it is simply a timer once the last door closes. 10 sec or so and vehicle locks and horn chirps. In the case of the Lightning there is no rhyme or reason I can figure. Sometimes I can get out close the door and in 10sec or less doors lock and horn chirps. But many times I can close door walk far away and nothing. Then maybe 2-3 min later I hear the horn honk and get the notification on my iPhone. As well as plenty of times the truck just never locks. (Majority of the time it locks at some point, but not always) Seems to be there is some connection at least at times with proximity to the truck before it locks. My suggestion and request is that the team that handles that make the change to a time based system rather than proximity (if that’s the case) it should be rock solid 10sec or whatever from the last door closing and then it should just lock wether you’re standing next to it or not.
