SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockpassive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless acoded intelligent access keys programmed to your
vehicleis used. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a
“no-start” condition.
Your vehicle comes with two coded intelligent access keys; additional
coded transmitters may be purchased from your authorized dealer. The
authorized dealer can program your spare transmitters to your vehicle or
you can program then yourself. Refer toProgramming spare intelligent
access keysfor instructions on how to program the coded key.
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 engine. 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
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always
take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.

Anti-theft indicator
The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument panel cluster.
•When the ignition is off, the
indicator will flash once every two
seconds to indicate the
SecuriLocksystem is functioning
as a theft deterrent.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after turning the ignition off.
Automatic disarming
The vehicle is disarmed immediately after the ignition is turned on.
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
four intelligent access keys can be programmed to your vehicle.
If your intelligent access key is lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra
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 keys will
need to be programmed.
Replacing intelligent access 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.
Programming spare intelligent access keys
You must have two previously programmed intelligent access keys inside
the vehicle and the new unprogrammed intelligent access keys readily
accessible. If two previously programmed keys are not available, you
must take your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare
key(s) programmed.
Note:A maximum of four intelligent access keys can be programmed to
your vehicle. If you would like to replace a previously programmed
access key with a new access key, or if you already have four access keys
programmed to your vehicle, you must take your vehicle and all access
keys to your authorized dealer to be erased and reprogrammed.

Front safety belt usage sensors
The front safety belt usage sensors detect whether or not the driver and
front outboard passenger safety belts are fastened. This information
allows your Personal Safety System to tailor the airbag deployment and
safety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.
Front safety belt pretensioners
The safety belt pretensioners at the front outboard seating positions are
designed to tighten the safety belts firmly against the occupant’s body
during frontal collisions, and in side collisions and rollovers. This helps
increase the effectiveness of the safety belts. In frontal collisions, the
safety belt pretensioners can be activated alone or, if the collision is of
sufficient severity, together with the front airbags.
Front safety belt energy management retractors
The front outboard safety belt energy management retractors allow
webbing to be pulled out of the retractor in a gradual and controlled
manner in response to the occupant’s forward momentum. This helps
reduce the risk of force-related injuries to the occupant’s chest by
limiting the load on the occupant. Refer toEnergy management
feature- front outboardsection in this chapter.
Determining if the Personal Safety System is operational
The Personal Safety System uses a warning light in the instrument
cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer
to theWarning lights and chimessection in theInstrument Cluster
chapter. Routine maintenance of the Personal Safety System is not
required.
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors its own internal circuits
and the circuits for the airbag supplemental restraints, crash sensor(s),
safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt buckle sensors, driver seat
position sensor, and front passenger sensing system. In addition, the
RCM also monitors the restraints warning light in the instrument cluster.
A difficulty with the system is indicated by one or more of the following.
•The warning light will either flash or stay lit.
•The warning light will not illuminate immediately after ignition is
turned on.
•A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem and warning light are repaired.
If any of these things happen, even intermittently, have the Personal
Safety System serviced at an authorized dealer immediately. Unless
serviced, the system may not function properly in the event of a
collision.
