Replacing the batteries
The transmitter is powered by two coin type
three-volt lithium batteries. Typical operating range
will allow you to be up to 10 meters (33 feet) away
from your vehicle. A decrease in operating range can
be caused by:
²weather conditions
²nearby radio towers
²structures around the vehicle
²other vehicles parked next to the vehicle
To replace the
batteries:
1. Twist a thin coin
between the two halves
of the transmitter near
the key ring. DO NOT
TAKE THE FRONT
PART OF THE
TRANSMITTER
APART.
2. Place the positive
(+) side of new batteries down. Refer to the diagram
inside the transmitter unit.
3. Snap the two halves back together.
Replacement of the battery willnotcause the
remote transmitter to become deprogrammed from
your vehicle. The remote transmitter should operate
normally after battery replacement.
SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is an engine
immobilization system. This system prevents the
engine from being started unless acoded key
programmed to your vehicleis used.
The SecuriLockypassive 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.

touching thecoded keyignition key while starting
the engine. These objects and devices cannot damage
thecoded keyignition key, but can cause a
NOÐSTART condition if they are too close to the key
during engine start. If a problem occurs, turn ignition
OFF and restart the engine with all other objects on
the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check
to make sure thecoded keyignition key is an
approved Fordcoded keyignition key.
If your keys are lost or
stolen you will need to
do the following:
²
Use your spare key
to start the vehicle. or
²Have your vehicle towed to a dealership or
locksmith. The key codes will need to be erased
from your vehicle and new key codes will need to
be re-coded.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you
may want to store an extra programmed key away
from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent an
unforeseen inconvenience.
The correctcoded keykey must be used for your
vehicle. The use of the wrong type ofcoded key
key may lead to a ªNO-STARTº condition.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition
it will cause a ªNO STARTº condition.
Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your
vehicle. Only SecuriLockykeys can be used. To
program acoded keyyourself, you will need two
previously programmedcoded keys(keys that
already operate your vehicle's engine) and the new
unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible for timely
implementation of each step in the procedure.
If two previously programmed coded keys are not
available, you must bring your vehicle to your
dealership to have the spare coded key(s)
programmed.

Please read and understand the entire procedure
before you begin.
1. Insert the first
previously programmed
coded keyinto the
ignition and turn the
ignition from 3 (OFF)
to 4 (ON) (maintain
ignition in 4 (ON) for
at least one second).
2. Turn ignition to 3 (OFF) then 2 (LOCK) and
remove the firstcoded keyfrom the ignition.
3. Within ten seconds of removing the firstcoded
key,insert the second previously programmed
coded keyinto the ignition and turn the ignition
from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4
(ON) for at least one second but no more than ten
seconds).
4. Turn the ignition to 3 (OFF) then 2 (LOCK) and
remove the secondcoded keyfrom the ignition.
5. Within 20 seconds of removing the secondcoded
key,insert the new unprogrammed key (new
key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the ignition
from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4
(ON) for at least one second). This step will
program your new key to a coded key.
6. To program additional new unprogrammed key(s),
repeat this procedure from step 1.
If successful, the new coded key(s) will start the
vehicle's engine and the theft indicator will
illuminate for three seconds and then go out.
If not successful, the new coded key(s) will not start
the vehicle's engine and the theft indicator will flash

PREPARING TO START YOUR VEHICLE
Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain
control system. This system meets all Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field
strength of radio noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator before or during starting. Only use
the accelerator when you have difficulty starting the
engine. For more information on starting the vehicle,
refer toStarting the enginein this chapter.
Extended idling at high engine speeds can
produce very high temperatures in the
engine and exhaust system, creating the risk of
fire or other damage.
Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle in
dry grass or other dry ground cover. The
emission system heats up the engine compartment
and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage
or in other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes
can be toxic. Always open the garage door before
you start the engine. SeeGuarding against
exhaust fumesin this chapter for more
instructions.
If you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your dealer inspect your
vehicle immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.

Important safety precautions
A computer system controls the engine's idle
revolutions per minute (RPM). When the engine
starts, the idle RPM runs faster to warm the engine.
If the engine idle speed does not slow down
automatically, have the vehicle checked. Do not
allow the vehicle to idle for more than 10 minutes at
high engine RPM.
Before starting the vehicle:
1. Make sure all vehicle occupants have buckled
their safety belts. For more information on safety
belts and their proper usage, refer to theSeating
and safety restraintschapter.
2. Make sure the headlamps and vehicle accessories
are off.
If starting a vehicle with an automatic transmission:
²Make sure the
parking brake is set.
²Make sure the gearshift is in P (Park).
If starting a vehicle with a manual transmission:
²Make sure the parking brake is set.
²Push the clutch
pedal to the floor.

wheel left and right
until the key turns
freely. This condition may occur when:
²front wheels are turned
²front wheel is against the curb
²steering wheel is turned when getting in or out of
the vehicle
Make sure the corresponding lights illuminate or
illuminate briefly. If a light fails to illuminate, have
the vehicle serviced.
²If the driver's safety belt is fastened, the
light
may not illuminate.
