Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note:Each button press must be done within three seconds of each
other. The vehicle will not remote start if this sequence is not followed
and the horn will not chirp.
The label on your transmitter
details the starting procedure.
To remote start your vehicle:
1. Press the lock button to lock all the doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash
twice.
The horn will chirp if the system fails to start (unless quiet start is on).
Quiet start will run the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce noise.
It can be switched on or off. Refer to theInformation Displayschapter.
Note:If the vehicle has been remote started and is equipped with an
integrated keyhead transmitter, you must turn the ignition on before
driving the vehicle. If equipped with an intelligent access transmitter, you
must press theSTART/STOPbutton on the instrument panel once while
applying the brake pedal before driving the vehicle.
The power windows will be inhibited during the remote start and the
radio will not turn on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the vehicle will run for 5, 10,
or 15 minutes, depending on the setting. Refer to theInformation
Displayschapter to select the duration of the remote start system.

Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still running to extend the run
time for another remote start duration. If you programmed the duration
to last 10 minutes, the second 10 minutes will be added. For example, if
the vehicle had been running from the first remote start for five minutes,
the vehicle will continue to run now for a total of 20 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown.
Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote Starting
Press the button once. The parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to the vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise of the running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote start system through the
information display. Refer to theInformation Displaychapter.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
You can purchase replacement or additional keys or remote controls from
an authorized dealer. A dealer can program the transmitters to your
vehicle or you may be able to program them yourself. See theSecurity
chapter for information on programming your transmitters.

Power Liftgate (If Equipped)
WARNING:Make sure all persons are clear of the power liftgate
area before using the power liftgate control.
WARNING:Keep keys out of reach of children. Do not allow
children to play near an open or moving power liftgate.
Note:Cycling the ignition while the liftgate is power closing and is near
the latch may cause the liftgate to stop operation. Make sure that the
liftgate is closed before operating or moving the vehicle, especially in
an enclosure, like a garage or a parking structure. The liftgate or its
components could be damaged.
Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note:The doors must be unlocked to operate the power liftgate.
Note:The liftgate movement direction can be stopped with a second
press of the instrument panel, or the control button on the liftgate, a
second double press of the transmitter button, or by using a kicking
motion with your foot for hands-free liftgates.
If the engine is running, the liftgate will only operate with the vehicle inP.
A chime sequence will sound as the liftgate begins to power close.
Another chime sequence indicates a problem with the close request,
caused by:
•the ignition is on and the transmission is not inP,or
•the battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage, or
•the vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h).
If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, four
short warning chimes indicate excessive load on the gate or a possible
strut failure. See your authorized dealer if you still have a fast chime
after the load is removed.
To open or close from the instrument panel:Press the
instrument panel button.
Note:The doors must be unlocked.

SECURILOCK® 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 issues 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.
The system is an engine immobilization system. It helps prevent the
engine from starting 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
Your vehicle arms immediately after you switch the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Your vehicle disarms when you switch the ignition on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note:Your vehicle comes with two integrated keyhead transmitters or
two intelligent access keys.
The integrated keyhead transmitter functions as a programmed ignition key
that operates all the locks and starts the vehicle, as well as a remote control.
The intelligent access key functions as a programmed key that operates
the driver door lock and activates the intelligent access with push button
start systems, as well as a remote control.
If your programmed transmitters or standard SecuriLock coded keys
(integrated keyhead transmitters only) 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. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle
and new coded keys will need to be programmed.
Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to
help prevent any inconveniences. See an authorized dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.

Programming a Spare Integrated Keyhead Transmitter
Note:A maximum of eight coded keys can be programmed to your
vehicle; all eight can be integrated keyhead transmitters.
You can program your own integrated keyhead transmitter or standard
SecuriLock® coded keys to your vehicle. This procedure will program
both the engine immobilizer keycode and the remote entry portion of the
remote control to your vehicle.
Only use integrated keyhead transmitters or standard SecuriLock® keys.
You must have two previously programmed coded keys and the new
unprogrammed key readily accessible. See your authorized dealer to have
the spare key programmed if two previously programmed coded keys are
not available.
Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed coded key into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition off and remove the first coded key from the ignition.
4. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of turning the ignition off,
insert the second previously coded key into the ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least
three seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition off and remove the second previously programmed
coded key from the ignition.
7. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of turning the ignition off
and removing the previously programmed coded key, insert the new
unprogrammed key into the ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least
six seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed coded key from the ignition.
If the key has been successfully programmed it will start the engine
and operate the remote entry system (if the new key is an integrated
keyhead transmitter).
If it was not programmed successfully, wait 10 seconds and repeat
Steps 1 through 8. If you are still unsuccessful, bring your vehicle to
your authorized dealer.
Wait 20 seconds and then repeat this procedure from Step 1 to program
an additional key.
