Vehicles With a Trailer Hitch
E310718E310718
The detection area is on the left-hand side
and right-hand side of the hitch, between the
exhaust and the hitch.
Note:Allow the power system to open the
liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the
liftgate could activate the system’s obstacle
detection feature and stop the power
operation or reverse its direction, replicate
a strut failure, or damage mechanical
components.Note:Any physical actions that mimic a
kicking motion such as splashing water,
trailer chains or vacuum hoses could cause
the hands-free liftgate to activate. Switch the
power liftgate off through your vehicle
settings or keep the passive key away from
the rear bumper detection area.

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Note: The 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:Metallic objects, electronic devices or
a second coded key on the same key chain
may cause vehicle starting problems if they
are too close to the key when starting the
engine. Prevent these objects from touching
the coded key while starting the engine.
Switch the ignition off, move all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and
restart the engine if a problem occurs.
Note:Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in the vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
SecuriLock®
The system is an engine immobilization
system. It is designed to help prevent the
engine from being started unless a coded
key programmed to your vehicle is used.
Using the wrong key may prevent the engine
from starting. A message may appear in the
information display.
If you are unable to start the engine with a
correctly coded key, a malfunction has
happened and a message may appear in the
information display.
Automatic Arming
The vehicle arms immediately after you
switch the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a coded key
disarms the vehicle.
Replacement Keys
Note:Your vehicle comes equipped with two
intelligent access keys.The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and activates the intelligent access
with push button start system, as well as a
remote control.
If your programmed transmitters are lost or
stolen and you do not have an extra coded
key, you will need to have your vehicle
towed to an authorized dealer. You need to
erase the key codes from your vehicle and
program new coded keys.
Store an extra programmed key away from
the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent
any inconveniences. See your authorized
dealer to purchase additional spare or
replacement keys.
Programming a Spare Intelligent Access
Key
See your authorized dealer to have
additional keys programmed to your vehicle.

Security

ANTI-THEFT ALARM
The active anti-theft system is designed to
warn you in the event of unauthorized
vehicle entry and is also designed to help
prevent unwanted towing of your vehicle.
You can choose what is monitored by arming
the system in different ways. See
Information Displays (page 136).
The turn signals flash and the horn sounds
if the system triggers while the alarm is
armed.
Take all remote controls to an authorized
dealer if there is any potential alarm problem
with your vehicle.
Using the System
You can select two levels of alarm security.
You can change the level of security when
the ignition is switched off through the
information display with the two options
below:Perimeter Sensing (If Equipped)
Perimeter sensing monitors the following:
• Doors.
• Hood.
• Liftgate.
All Sensors (If Equipped)
All sensors monitors the following:
• Doors.
• Hood.
• Liftgate.
• Movement inside your vehicle.
• Change in vehicle inclination, for
example, unwanted towing.
Note:Do not choose all sensors monitor
mode when the vehicle is in transport or if
movement within the vehicle is likely to
occur.Note:For correct operation of the interior
motion detection system, make sure you
close all the windows prior to arming the
system. This helps prevent accidental alarm
activation due to external influences.
Additionally, the interior motion sensing
system does not arm if any door is ajar.
Arming the Alarm
The alarm is ready to arm when there is not
a key in the ignition. Lock your vehicle using
the remote control or keyless entry keypad.
You can also lock your vehicle using the lock
sensor on the exterior door handle if your
vehicle is equipped with intelligent access.
See Locking and Unlocking (page 83).
The turn signals flash once after you lock
your vehicle. This indicates the alarm is in
the pre-armed mode. It fully arms after 20
seconds.

actions:
• Press the power door unlock button
within the 20-second pre-armed mode.
• Unlock the doors with the remote control
or keyless entry keypad. If equipped with
intelligent access, you can use the unlock
sensor on the exterior door handle. See
Locking and Unlocking (page 83).
• Switch the ignition on or start your
vehicle.
• Use a key in the driver door lock cylinder
to unlock your vehicle, then switch the
ignition on within 12 seconds.
Note:Pressing the panic button on the
remote control stops the horn and turn
signals, but does not disarm the system.
