Vehicles Equipped with Intelligent Access Key (Push Button Start)
Note:It is not possible to program the remote start system as a MyKey
on vehicles equipped with intelligent access key (push button start).
Therefore, you should treat the remote start fob as you would any other
admin key. When the vehicle is started using remote start, the system
will stall the engine when you either enter the vehicle or shift the vehicle
into gear. Prior to the engine stall, the vehicle will have administrative
privileges. When you restart the engine, the vehicle will identify the user
as an admin or MyKey driver depending on the settings of the actual key
used to start the vehicle.
Note:For all vehicles, the number of MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or
ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED that is displayed in the MyKey system
status menus may include the non-Ford-approved remote start system as
an additional key in the total count. See theChecking system status
section.
For all vehicles with a non-Ford-approved remote start installed, it is
possible to program all ’real’ keys as MyKeys, in which case, you will
need to use your remote start system to clear all MyKeys as admin keys
by doing the following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using your non-Ford-approved remote start
fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-3 in theClearing all MyKeyssection.

SECURILOCKPASSIVE 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 the engine. 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 the engine
if a problem occurs.
Note:Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take
your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
The system is an engine immobilization system. It is designed to help
prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to
your vehicle is used. Using the wrong key may prevent the engine from
starting. A message may appear in the information display.
If you are unable to start the engine with a correctly coded key, a
malfunction has happened and a message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition off.
Anti-Theft Indicator
The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster.
•When the ignition is in the off position, the indicator will
flash once every two seconds to indicate the SecuriLock
system is functioning as a theft deterrent.
•When the ignition is in the on position, the indicator will glow for
three seconds, then turn off to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLocksystem, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the on position. If this
occurs, turn the ignition off then back to on to make sure there was no
electronic interference with the programmed key. If the vehicle doesn’t
start, try to start it with the second programmed key and if successful
contact your authorized dealership for key replacement. If the indicator
still flashes rapidly or glows steadily, the vehicle will not start, contact
your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service.

Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a coded key disarms the vehicle.
Replacement of Integrated Keyhead Transmitters and Coded Keys
Note:Your vehicle comes equipped with two integrated keyhead
transmitters.
The integrated keyhead transmitter functions as both a programmed
ignition key that operates all the locks and starts the vehicle, as well as a
remote keyless entry transmitter. A maximum of eight coded keys can be
programmed to your vehicle; only four of these eight keys can be
integrated keyhead transmitters with remote entry functionality.
If your integrated keyhead transmitters or standard SecuriLockcoded
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.
Programming a Spare Integrated Keyhead Transmitter
Note:A maximum of eight coded keys can be programmed to your
vehicle. Only four of these eight can be integrated keyhead transmitters.
You can program your own integrated keyhead transmitters or standard
SecuriLockcoded keys to your vehicle. This procedure will program
both the engine immobilizer key code and the remote entry portion of
the remote control to your vehicle.
Only use integrated keyhead transmitters or standard SecuriLockkeys.
You must have two previously programmed coded keys and the new
unprogrammed key readily accessible. See your authorized dealer to have
the spare key programmed if two previously programmed coded keys are
not available
Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed coded key into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition off and remove the first coded key from the ignition.

4. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of turning the ignition off,
insert the second previously coded key into the ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition off and remove the second previously programmed
coded key from the ignition.
7. After three seconds but within 20 seconds of turning the ignition off
and removing the previously programmed coded key, insert the new
unprogrammed key into the ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least six
seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed coded key from the ignition.
The key will start the vehicle’s engine and will operate the remote entry
system (if the new key is an integrated keyhead transmitter) if it has
been successfully programmed. The theft indicator light will illuminate
for three seconds and then go out to indicate successful programming.
If the key was not successfully programmed, the theft indicator light may
flash on and off. Wait 20 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8. Take
your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the new key programmed
if you are still unsuccessful.
Wait 20 seconds and then repeat this procedure from Step 1 to program
an additional key.
ANTI–THEFT ALARM (IF EQUIPPED)
The active anti-theft system is designed to warn you in the event of
unauthorized vehicle entry and is also designed to help prevent
unwanted towing of the vehicle.
You can choose what is monitored by arming the system in different
ways.
Partial Monitor Mode
To monitor the following:
•Doors
•Hood
•Trunk
Lock the vehicle using the key in the driver door key cylinder.
