DATA RECORDING
Service Data Recording
Service data recorders in your vehicle are capable of collecting and
storing diagnostic information about your vehicle. This potentially
includes information about the performance or status of various systems
and modules in the vehicle, such as engine, throttle, steering or brake
systems. In order to properly diagnose and service your vehicle, Ford
Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities may
access or share among them vehicle diagnostic information received
through a direct connection to your vehicle when diagnosing or servicing
your vehicle. Additionally, when your vehicle is in for service or repair,
Ford Motor Company, Ford of Canada, and service and repair facilities

of Canada do not access event data recorder information without
obtaining consent, unless pursuant to court order or where
required by law enforcement, other government authorities or
other third parties acting with lawful authority. Other parties
may seek to access the information independently of Ford Motor
Company and Ford of Canada.
Note: Including to the extent that any law pertaining to Event
Data Recorders applies to SYNC® or its features, please note the
following: Once 911 Assist (if equipped) is enabled (set ON),
911 Assist may, through any paired and connected cell phone,
disclose to emergency services that the vehicle has been in a
crash involving the deployment of an airbag or, in certain
vehicles, the activation of the fuel pump shut-off. Certain
versions or updates to 911 Assist may also be capable of being
used to electronically or verbally provide to 911 operators the
vehicle location (such as latitude and longitude), and/or other
details about the vehicle or crash or personal information about
the occupants to assist 911 operators to provide the most
appropriate emergency services.
If you do not want to disclose this information, do not activate
the 911 Assist feature. See your SYNC® chapter for more
information.
Additionally, when you connect to Traffic, Directions and
Information (if equipped, U.S. only), the service uses GPS
technology and advanced vehicle sensors to collect the vehicle’s
current location, travel direction, and speed (“vehicle travel
information”), only to help provide you with the directions,
traffic reports, or business searches that you request. If you do
not want Ford or its vendors to receive this information, do not
activate the service. Ford Motor Company and the vendors it uses
to provide you with this information do not store your vehicle
travel information. For more information, see Traffic, Directions
and Information, Terms and Conditions. See your SYNC® chapter
for more information.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING:Some constituents of engine exhaust, certain vehicle
components, certain fluids contained in vehicles and certain

Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder® Feature (If Equipped)
WARNING:While the design allows you to deactivate your
Belt-Minder, this system is designed to improve your chances of

the Belt-Minder system activated for yourself and others who may use
the vehicle. To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate or activate
the Belt-Minder feature while driving the vehicle.
Note:The driver and front passenger Belt-Minder are deactivated and
activated independently. When deactivating or activating one seating
position, do not buckle the other position as this will terminate the
process.

1. Turn the ignition on. Do not start the engine.
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (about one minute).
•Once the next step is started, the procedure must be completed
within 60 seconds.
3. For the seating position being disabled, buckle then unbuckle the
safety belt four times at a moderate speed, ending in the unbuckled
state.
•After Step 3, the safety belt warning light will turn on.

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 your vehicle. 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 your
vehicle if a problem occurs.
Note:Do not leave a duplicate coded key in your vehicle. Always take
your keys and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.
The system helps prevent the engine from starting unless you use a coded
key programmed to your vehicle. Using the wrong key may prevent your
vehicle from starting. A message may appear in the information display.
If you are unable to start your vehicle with a correctly coded key, a
malfunction has occurred. 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.
