REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
FCC ID: LXP-RX4318 IC: 2298A-RX4318
The intelligent access keys (IA key) comply with part 15 of the FCC
rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
•weather conditions,
•nearby radio towers,
•structures around the vehicle, or
•other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
The transmitter allows you to:
•remotely unlock the vehicle doors.
•remotely lock all the vehicle doors.
•remotely open the trunk.

4 mph (7 km/h).
If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take
ALL intelligent access keyswith you to the authorized dealer in order
to aid in troubleshooting the problem.
Intelligent access
The intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to
communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock
when commanded (either by touching the inside of any exterior door
handle, the luggage compartment handle, or a button on the transmitter
itself). If excessive RF interference is present in the area, or if your
vehicle battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock your
door. The mechanical key blade in your IA key can be used to open the
driver’s door in this situation (refer toIntelligent access keyin this
chapter for more information on the location and use of the mechanical
key blade).
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 any door 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 doors:If your IA key is within
3 feet (1 meter) of the doors you can
activate your intelligent access
system by touching the inside of any
exterior door handle. The door(s) will
automatically unlock and the door
can be opened.
To lock the doors, press the lock area (black spot) on either front door
handle.

ignition is turned off.
Press and hold both the lock and unlock buttons on the remote control
for four seconds to disable or enable two-stage unlocking. Disabling
two-stage unlocking allows all vehicle doors to unlock with one press of
the button. The turn signal lamps will illuminate twice to indicate that

applied to intelligent access.
Two-stage unlocking may also be disabled or enabled through the
message center if this is an available message center option or by your
authorized dealer. Refer toMessage centerin theInstrument Cluster
chapter.

SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockpassive anti-theft system is an vehicle immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the vehicle from being
started unless anintelligent access keys programmed to your
vehicleis used. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a
“no-start” condition. The message center will display that no key is
detected.
If you are unable to start the vehicle with a correctly coded key, this
indicates a malfunction.
Your vehicle comes with two intelligent access keys; additional ones may
be purchased from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer can
program your spare transmitters.
Note:The SecuriLockpassive anti-theft system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

Note:Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to
purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while starting the vehicle. These
objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a
momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the
vehicle. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the vehicle.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always
take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
Automatic Arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a coded key disarms the vehicle.
Replacement of intelligent access keys
Note:Your vehicle comes equipped with two intelligent access keys.
The intelligent access key functions as both a programmed key that
operates the driver door lock, activates intelligent access with push
button start systems as well as a remote keyless entry transmitter. A
maximum of eight intelligent access keys can be programmed to your
vehicle.
If your intelligent access keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an
extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an
authorized dealer. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle
and new coded keys will need to be programmed.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key
away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any
inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional
spare or replacement keys.
