The parking lamps will remain on and the vehicle will run for 5, 10, or
15 minutes, depending on the setting. Refer to theMessage centerin the
Instrument Clusterchapter 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. You can
only extend the remote start once.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown. Only two remote starts are allowed.
The vehicle must be started without remote start then switched back off
or allow one hour to pass before using remote start again if additional
remote starts are desired.
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 message
center. Refer to theInstrument Clusterchapter.
SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockpassive anti-theft system is an vehicle immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the vehicle from being
started unless anintelligent access keys programmed to your
vehicleis used. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a
“no-start” condition. The message center will display that no key is
detected.
If you are unable to start the vehicle with a correctly coded key, this
indicates a malfunction.
Your vehicle comes with two intelligent access keys; additional ones may
be purchased from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer can
program your spare transmitters.
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 vehicle. 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
vehicle. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the vehicle.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always
take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
Automatic Arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a coded key disarms the vehicle.
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 eight intelligent access keys can be programmed to your
vehicle.
If your intelligent access keys are lost or stolen and you don’t 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.
Replacing coded 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.
PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM
The perimeter anti-theft system will warn you in the event of an
unauthorized entry to your vehicle.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare taken to the authorized
dealer to aid in troubleshooting.

Push Button Start System
The power button is located on the
instrument panel to the right of the
steering wheel.
Starting the Vehicle
Note:To start your vehicle, your intelligent access key (IA key) must be
present inside the vehicle.
1. Press the power button (for any length of time) while applying the
brake pedal.
2. Release the parking brake, apply the brake, shift into gear and drive.
There may be areas inside your vehicle where the IA key is not detected.
If the message KEY NOT DETECTED appears on your multifunction
display when you press the power button, it may be necessary to move
your IA key to another area within the vehicle. The IA key may not be
detected near the roof (between the driver or passenger sun visor and
the roof, or in the overhead console area) or in the extreme corners of
the rear package tray, near your audio speakers. It is not recommended
that you stow the IA key in these locations. If you move the IA key to a
location where it has been detected before and you still see the KEY
NOT DETECTED message, your IA key’s battery may be low or you may
be in an area with excessive radio frequency interference. If this occurs,
you can use the backup method to start your vehicle.

Type 1
Type 2
Backup Starting Method
Your IA key uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your
vehicle and authorize your vehicle to start when you press the power
button and apply the brake pedal. If excessive radio frequency
interference is present in the area, or if the battery in your IA key is low,
it may be necessary to start your car by placing the IA key at the backup
location on the steering column. After placing the IA key at the backup
location, use the power button and brake pedal to start your vehicle as
usual. The vehicle should respond normally as long as the IA key is at
the backup location on the steering column. Once the vehicle is started,
the IA key can be moved from the backup location, if desired.
Fast Restart
The fast restart feature allows you to re-start your vehicle within
10 seconds of switching the vehicle off, if a valid IA key is not present
when the vehicle is switched off. You can re-start the vehicle (by
applying the brake pedal and pressing the power button) for up to
10 seconds, even though the IA key is not present. After 10 seconds
have expired, you can no longer start your vehicle without the IA key
present inside the vehicle. If the driver door is opened within this
10 seconds, the fast restart timer expires immediately.

Switching the Vehicle Off When Not in P (Park)
It is recommended that you shift into the P (Park) position before
switching your vehicle off. If you switch your vehicle off with the shifter
in any position other than P (Park), the message SHIFT TO PARK is
displayed in the multifunction display. If the vehicle is left in this state,
your key in ignition chime activates when the driver door is opened, and
you may drain your vehicle’s battery. In order to avoid draining your
battery, it is recommended that you always shift to P (Park) before or
immediately after switching your vehicle off.
Absence of the Intelligent Access Key
Once the vehicle has started, the vehicle remains running until being
turned off by the power button, even if the IA key is no longer found in
the vehicle. Whenever a door is opened and then closed while the
vehicle is running, the system searches for an IA key inside the vehicle
and the multifunction display reads KEY OUTSIDE CAR if the IA key is
no longer present. This message is a reminder that someone else in the
vehicle may have taken the IA key when exiting the vehicle. If the IA key
is no longer present in the vehicle, you cannot start your vehicle outside
of the Fast Restart time (seeFast restartabove). It is important to be
aware of where your IA key is located in the vehicle, to avoid becoming
stranded without an IA key.
BRAKES
Occasional brake noise is normal. If a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding
or continuous squeal sound is present, the brake linings may be worn-out
and should be inspected by an authorized dealer. If the vehicle has
continuous vibration or shudder in the steering wheel while braking, the
vehicle should be inspected by an authorized dealer.
Refer toWarning lights and indicatorsin theInstrument
Clusterchapter for information on the brake system warning
light.
Under normal operating conditions, brake dust may accumulate on the
wheels. Some brake dust is inevitable as brakes wear and does not
contribute to brake noise. The use of modern friction materials with
emphasis on improved performance and environmental considerations
can lead to more dust than in the past. Brake dust can be cleaned by
weekly washing with soapy water and a soft sponge. Heavier deposits can
be removed with MotorcraftWheel and Tire Cleaner. See theCleaning
chapter for more information.

Keep the sensors (located on the rear bumper/fascia) free from
snow, ice and large accumulations of dirt (do not clean the
sensors with sharp objects). If the sensors are covered, it will
affect the accuracy of the system.
If your vehicle sustains damage to the rear bumper/fascia, leaving
it misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing
inaccurate measurement of obstacles or false alarms.
REARVIEW CAMERA SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The rear video camera system, located
in the rear of the vehicle above the
license plate, provides a video image of
the area behind the vehicle. It adds
assistance to the driver while reversing
or reverse parking the vehicle. To use
the rear video camera system, place
the transmission in R (Reverse). An
image will display on the touchscreen
display. The area displayed on the
screen may vary according to the vehicle orientation and/or road
condition.
The rear video camera includes the following features that will assist the
driver in reverse driving.
Active guidelines, fixed guidelines and centerline
The active guidelines show the path of intended motion of the vehicle
while reversing. The fixed guidelines assist a driver with backing into a
parking space or aligning with an object behind the vehicle. The
centerline assists a driver with aligning the center of the vehicle with an
object (i.e. trailer).
To turn this feature on or off when the vehicle is not in R (Reverse), do
the following on the touchscreen:
