How to use E-Latch Door System on Ford Mustang Mach-E

Mustang Mach-E is equipped with an intelligent, electronically-controlled door latch system called E-Latch. A button located on each door releases the door latch.

Opening front doors

With your key fob on hand, or phone as a key, simply push the button to activate E-Latch. Doing so will cause the door to unlatch and pop open slightly.


A convenient pull handle just below the button is there to assist with opening the front door. Simply pull the handle to open it all the way.

Safety feature

Once any door is open, it will not close again until it has been opened all the way. So, there’s no need to worry about pinched fingers.

Opening door from inside

To exit the vehicle from inside, simply pull the lever on the armrest. The door will unlatch so you can swing it open the rest of the way with ease.

What to do in case of dead battery

If you lose electrical power and need to enter the vehicle, there are two power points in the front lower grill that allow you to attach jumper cables.

With the cables connected, the front trunk will pop open so you can access the battery and charge it. Once the battery is charged, you’ll have the power necessary to use the E-Latches and open the doors.


If you have a depleted battery, or lose electrical power while inside the vehicle, and are unable to use the E-Latch, just pull the lever on the armrest all the way and the door will open.
