Introduction
E71340

Perform the following steps to install a
child safety seat with tether anchors:
Note:If you install a child seat with rigid
LATCH attachments, do not tighten the
tether strap enough to lift the child seat off
the vehicle seat cushion when the child is
seated in it. Keep the tether strap just snug
without lifting the front of the child seat.
Keeping the child seat just touching the
vehicle seat gives the best protection in a
severe crash.
1. Route the child safety seat tether strap
over the back of the seat. For outboard
seating positions, route the tether strap
under the head restraint and between
the head restraint posts. For the center
seating positions, route the tether strap
over the top of the head restraint. If
needed, the head restraints can also
be removed.
2. Locate the correct anchor on the back
panel of the rear seat for the selected
seating position. The anchors are
labeled with the tether strap symbol
and are partially covered by the gap
panel. Pull the panel back to fully
expose the anchors.
3. Clip the tether strap to the anchor asshown.
4. Tighten the child safety seat tether strap according to the manufacturer's
instructions. If your child restraint
system is equipped with a tether strap,
and the child restraint manufacturer
recommends its use, Ford also
recommends its use.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The remote control allows you to:
•remotely lock or unlock the vehicle
doors
• unlock the doors without actively using
a key or remote control (intelligent
access only)
• remotely open the power liftgate (if
equipped)
• remotely start or stop the engine (if
equipped)
• arm and disarm the anti-theft system
• activate the panic alarm.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
The remote control complies 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.
Note: 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). Vehicles with the remote start
feature will have a greater range. A
decrease in operating range could be
caused by:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle. Intelligent Access (If Equipped)
The system uses a radio frequency signal
to communicate with your vehicle and
authorize your vehicle to unlock when
commanded (either by touching the inside
of the front exterior door handle, by
activating the exterior luggage
compartment button, or a button on the
transmitter itself). If excessive radio
frequency interface is present in the area,
or if the transmitter battery is low, it may
be necessary to mechanically unlock your
door. The mechanical key blade in your
intelligent access key can be used to open
the driver
’s door in this situation. See
Remote Control (page 44).
REMOTE CONTROL
Integrated Keyhead Transmitters
(If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with two
integrated keyhead transmitters. The key
blade is used to start the vehicle and
unlock or lock the driver ’s door from
outside the vehicle. The transmitter portion
functions as the remote control.

The intelligent access key also contains a
removable mechanical key blade that can
be used to unlock the driver door. Slide the
release on the back of the transmitter to
release the key blade, then pull the blade
out.
Note: Your vehicle ’s back-up keys were
issued with a security tag that provides
important vehicle key cut information. Keep
the tag in a safe place for future reference.
Replacing the Battery
Note: Refer to local regulations when
disposing of transmitter batteries.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals or on the back surface of
the circuit board.
Note: Replacing the battery will not delete
the transmitter from the vehicle. The
transmitter should operate normally.
The remote control uses one coin-type
three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or
equivalent.
