The transmitter is powered by one coin type three-volt lithium battery
CR2032 or equivalent. Typical operating range will allow you to be up to
10 meters (33 feet) away from your vehicle. A decrease in operating
range can be caused by:
²weather conditions
²nearby radio towers
²structures around the vehicle
²other vehicles parked next to the vehicle
To replace the battery:
1. Twist a thin coin between the two
halves of the transmitter near the
key ring. DO NOT TAKE THE
FRONT PART OF THE
TRANSMITTER APART.
2. Place the positive (+) side of new
battery in the same orientation.
Refer to the diagram inside the
transmitter unit.
3. Snap the two halves back
together.

It is necessary to haveall(maximum of four Ð original and/or new) of
your remote transmitters available prior to beginning this procedure.
To program the transmitters yourself:
²Insert a key in the ignition and
turn from 1 (LOCK) to 3 (RUN)
eight times in rapid succession
(within 10 seconds) with the
eighth turn ending in the 3
(RUN) position. The doors will
lock/unlock to confirm that
programming mode has been
entered.
²Within 20 seconds, program a
remote transmitter by pressing
any button on a transmitter. The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that
the remote transmitter has been programmed. (If more than 20
seconds pass before pressing a remote transmitter button, the
programming mode will exit and the procedure will have to be
repeated.)
²Repeat the previous step to program additional remote transmitters.
The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has
been programmed.
²When you have completed programming the remote transmitters, turn
the ignition to 1 (LOCK) or wait 20 seconds. Again the doors will
lock/unlock to confirm programming has been completed.

SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system prevents the engine from being started unless a
coded key programmed to your vehicleis used.
The SecuriLockypassive 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.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed approximately
15 seconds after switching the
ignition to the 2 (ACC) position.
The
THEFTlight in the instrument
cluster will flash every two seconds
when the vehicle is armed.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 4 (ON) position with acoded keydisarms
the vehicle. The
THEFTlight will illuminate for three seconds and then
go out. If the
THEFTlight stays on for an extended period of time or
flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealership or a
qualified technician.

Key information
Your vehicle is supplied withtwo
coded keys.Only acoded keywill
start your vehicle. Spare coded keys
can be purchased from your
dealership. Your dealership can
program your key or you can ªdo it
yourself.º Refer toProgramming
spare keys.
Certain items may cause vehicle
starting issues:
²large metallic objects
²electronic devices on the key
chain that can be used to
purchase gasoline or similar items
²a second key on the same key
ring as thecoded key
If any of these items are present,
you need to keep these objects from
touching thecoded keywhile
starting the engine. These objects
and devices cannot damage the
coded key,but can cause a
momentary ªno startº condition if they are too close to the key during
engine start. If a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF and restart the
engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition
key. Check to make sure thecoded keyis an approved Fordcoded key.

If your keys are lost or stolen you
will need to do the following:
²Use your spare key to start the
vehicle, or
²Have your vehicle towed to a
dealership or a locksmith. The
key codes will need to be erased
from your vehicle and new key codes will need to be re-coded.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you may want to store an
extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent
an unforeseen inconvenience.
The correctcoded keymust be used for your vehicle. The use of the
wrong type ofcoded keymay lead to a ªno startº condition.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a ªno
startº condition.
Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only
SecuriLockykeys can be used. To program acoded keyyourself, you
will need two previously programmedcoded keys(keys that already
operate your vehicle's engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily
accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure.
If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must
bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the spare coded key(s)
programmed.
Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

programmedcoded keyinto the
ignition and turn the ignition from 2
(ACC) to 3 (RUN) (maintain
ignition in 3 (RUN) for at least one
second).
2. Turn ignition to 1 (LOCK) and
remove the firstcoded keyfrom
the ignition.
3. Within ten seconds of turning the
ignition to 2 (ACC), insert the second previously programmedcoded
keyinto the ignition and turn the ignition from 2 (ACC) to 3 (RUN)
(maintain ignition in 3 (RUN) for at least one second but no more than
ten seconds).
4. Turn the ignition to 1 (LOCK) and remove the secondcoded key
from the ignition.
5. Within 20 seconds of turning the ignition to 2 (ACC), insert the new
unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the
ignition from 2 (ACC) to 3 (RUN) (maintain ignition in 3 (RUN) for at
least one second). This step will program your new key to a coded key.
6. To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this
procedure from step 1.
If successful, the new coded key(s) will start the vehicle's engine and the
theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out.
If not successful, the new coded key(s) will not start the vehicle's engine
and the theft indicator will flash on and off and you may repeat steps 1
