Unlocking the vehicle
Note:If the vehicle remains locked for
longer than three days, the key free system will enter an energy-saving mode.This is to reduce the discharge of thevehicle battery. When the vehicle isunlocked while in this mode, the reactiontime of the system may be a little longerthan normal. Unlocking the vehicle oncewill deactivate the energy-saving mode. Pull one of the door handles or the
luggage compartment lid handle.
Note:
A valid passive key must be
located within the detection range of that door.
One long flash of the direction indicators
confirms that all the doors, the luggage
compartment lid and the fuel filler flap
have been unlocked and that the alarm
has been disarmed.
Unlocking only the driver's door
If the unlocking function is reprogrammed
so that only the driver’s door is unlocked
( See Programming the remote

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The engine immobiliser is a theft
protection system that prevents someone
from starting the engine with an
incorrectly coded key.
CODED KEYS
Note:Do not shield your keys with metal
objects. This may prevent the receiver from recognising your key as a valid one.
Note:Have all of your remaining keys
erased and recoded if you lose a key. Ask your dealer for further information. Havereplacement keys recoded together withyour existing keys.
If you lose a key, you can obtain a
replacement from your Ford Dealer. If
possible, provide them with the key
number from the tag provided with the
original keys. You can also obtain
additional keys from your Ford Dealer.
ARMING THE ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
The engine immobiliser is armed
automatically a short time after you have
switched the ignition off.
DISARMING THE ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
The engine immobiliser is disarmed
automatically when you switch the ignition
on with a correctly coded key. The indicator in the instrument cluster will
come on for approximately three seconds
and then go out. If the indicator stays on
for one minute or flashes for
approximately one minute and then
repeatedly at irregular intervals, your key
has not been recognised. Remove the
key and try again.
If you are unable to start the engine with
a correctly coded key, this indicates a
malfunction. Have the immobiliser
checked immediately.

unauthorised person opens a door, the
luggage compartment or the bonnet. The
hazard flasher lights will flash for five
