SECURILOCK PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLock
passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The
use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start ”condition.
Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be
purchased from your dealer. The dealer can program your spare keys to
your vehicle or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to
Programming spare keys for instructions on how to program the coded
key.
Note: The SecuriLock
passive 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 engine. 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
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.
Theft indicator
The theft indicator is located on the instrument panel, below the
Boost/Vac gauge.
• When the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position, the indicator will glow for
3 seconds, then turn off, to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock
system, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position. If this
occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service.
Replacement keys
If your keys are lost or stolen and you don ’t have an extra coded key,
you will need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership. 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.
Programming spare keys
You can program your own coded keys to your vehicle. Please read and
understand the entire procedure before you begin.
Tips:
• A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.
• Only use SecuriLock
keys.
• You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that
already operate your vehicle ’s engine) and the new unprogrammed
key(s) readily accessible.
•
If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must
take your vehicle to your dealer to have the spare key(s) programmed.

•Drive carefully and avoid abrupt steering maneuvers.
• Periodically monitor tire inflation pressure in the affected tire; if the
tire is losing pressure, have the vehicle towed.
• Read the information in the Tips for use of the tire inflation kit
section to ensure safe operation of the tire inflation kit and your
vehicle.
Tips for use of the tire inflation kit
Read the following list of tips to ensure safe operation of the tire
inflation kit:
• Before operating the inflation kit, make sure your vehicle is safely off
the road and away from moving traffic.
• Always set the parking brake to ensure the vehicle doesn ’t move
unexpectedly.
• Do not remove any foreign objects, such as nails or screws, from the
tire.
• When using the inflation kit, leave the engine running (only if the
vehicle is outdoors or in a well-ventilated area) so the
compressor doesn ’t drain the vehicle ’s battery.
• Do not allow the compressor to operate continuously for more than 10
minutes; this will help prevent the compressor from overheating.
• Never leave the inflation kit unattended when it is operating.
• Keep the inflation kit away from children.
• Only use the inflation kit when the ambient temperature is above
–20 °F.
• Only use the inflation kit for sealing/inflating the tires on your vehicle.
Do not use the kit for inflating tires on motorcycles, bicycles or any
other type of tire.
• Only use the sealing compound before the expiration date. The
expiration date is labeled on the unit.
• Do not store the inflation kit inside the passenger compartment of the
vehicle as it may cause injury during a sudden stop or collision. Store
the kit in its proper location.

4. Loosen the safety latch (4) on
the sealing compound container (5)
and rotate the container until it is
upright and clicks into place.
5. Peel the speed limit sticker (6)
off the side of the container and
affix it to the center of the steering
wheel or the instrument panel so it
can be seen in plain view.
6. Start the engine(only if the
vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area) to prevent
the vehicle ’s battery from draining.
Do not start your vehicle in
a closed garage or in other
enclosed areas. The carbon
monoxide in exhaust fumes can be
toxic. Always open the garage
door before you start the engine.
7. Turn the air compressor on by
pressing the “I” side of the orange
button.

Second stage: Checking tire pressure
1. Stop driving after approximately two miles. Refer to theTips for use
of the tire inflation kit for safe operation of the tire inflation kit. Then
check the air pressure of the damaged tire as follows:
• Ensure the compressor is turned off by pressing the “O ” side of the
orange button.
• Remove the hose and the cable with the electrical plug from the kit ’s
storage compartment.
• Remove the valve cap from the sealed tire, then screw the hose firmly
onto the tire ’s air valve.
• Start the engine (only if the vehicle is outdoors or in a
well-ventilated area) to prevent the vehicle’s battery from draining.
• Insert the electrical plug into the vehicle ’s power point.
• Read the air pressure gauge on the inflation kit.
2. If the air pressure reads 19 psi or higher, switch the air compressor on
by pressing the “I” side of the orange button and adjust the air pressure
to the recommended pressure. This pressure can be found on a label
affixed to the B-Pillar. If the air pressure is higher than the label states,
reduce the excess pressure by pressing down on the pressure release
valve (8).

6. Read the air pressure gauge on the inflation kit.
If the tire pressure needs to be increased, operate the air compressor
and inflate the tire to the recommended pressure as indicated on the
label on the B-Pillar.
WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 500 miles (800 km)
after any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel
removal, etc.).
Bolt size Wheel lug nut torque* lb.ft. N•m
1⁄2x 20 100 135
* Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and
rust. Use only Ford recommended replacement fasteners.
When a wheel is installed, always remove any corrosion, dirt or
foreign materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel
or the surface of the front disc brake hub and rotor that contacts the
wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at
the wheel mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the wheel to come off while the vehicle is in motion, resulting in
loss of control.
