FORD 2011 Explorer v.2 - Manual (Page 143)

Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access
feature at the front doors or at the liftgate. You can activate the
intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your IA keys within
range of the front doors or the liftgate.
Activating intelligent access at the front doors: If your IA key is
within 3 feet (1 meter) of the front doors you can activate your
intelligent access system by pulling a front exterior door handle. The
door(s) will automatically unlock and the door can be opened.
To lock the doors, press and hold for half a second the lock area (black
button) on either front door handle.
Activating intelligent access at the liftgate: If your IA key is within
3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate, you can activate your intelligent access
system by pressing the exterior liftgate release button, hidden in the
handle below the license plate. The liftgate will release and open.
Push button start: The push button start system allows you to start
your vehicle without using a key. Refer to Push button start system in
the Driving chapter.
