POWER DOOR LOCKS
•Press the
control to unlock all
doors.
•Press the
control to lock all
doors.
Smart unlocks
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle
if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors and you lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all
the doors will lock, then all doors will automatically unlock reminding
you that your key is still in the ignition.
The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the
control on the transmitter, or locking the vehicle with the keyless entry
keypad.
If both front doors are closed, the vehicle can be locked by any method,
regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Smart unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys (IA key) (if equipped)
The smart unlock feature is intended to prevent you from unintentionally
locking your IA key inside your vehicle’s passenger compartment or
trunk.
When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door
lock control (with the door open), after you close the door the vehicle
will search for an IA key in the passenger compartment. If an IA key is
found inside the vehicle, all of the doors will immediately unlock and the
horn will chirp, indicating that the IA key is inside.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
IA key inside the vehicle, you can lock your vehicle using your keyless
entry keypad or using the
control on another IA key. Refer toKeyless
entry systemin this chapter for more information on keyless entry
keypad operation.

If your vehicle’s perimeter alarm is in the armed state, the smart unlock
feature will not allow you to lock your IA key inside the trunk. When the
alarm is armed, if the IA key is detected in the trunk, the decklid will
automatically be released when you attempt to close it, and the horn will
chirp, as a reminder that the IA key is inside. If you would like to
intentionally lock your IA key in the trunk of your vehicle, first disarm
the perimeter alarm by unlocking the vehicle, then place the IA key in
the trunk, close the trunk, and rearm your perimeter alarm system by
locking the vehicle using your keyless entry keypad or another IA key.
For more information on arming/disarming of the perimeter alarm
system, refer toPerimeter alarm systemin this chapter.

Intelligent Access (if equipped)
WARNING:Radio waves from the Intelligent Access system
transmitters in the vehicle may affect certain implanted medical
devices such as pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. People having
such implanted medical devices should ask the medical device
manufacturer or their physician whether the Intelligent Access system
may affect the equipment before coming into close proximity with a
vehicle equipped with Intelligent Access. Failure to do so may result in
interference with the medical device, which could result in serious
injury.
Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the Intelligent Access
feature at the driver door or at the trunk. You can activate the Intelligent
Access feature as long as you have one of your Intelligent Access Keys
within range of the driver door or the trunk.
Activating Intelligent Access at the Driver’s Door:If your IA key is
within 3 feet (1 meter) of the drivers door, you can activate your
Intelligent Access system by pressing any button on the keyless entry
keypad. The drivers door will automatically unlock and the door can be
opened.
(Note:If two stage unlocking is disabled, all doors will unlock when you
press any button on the keyless entry keypad).
Activating Intelligent Access at the Trunk:If your IA key is within
3 feet (1 meter) of the trunk, you can activate your Intelligent Access
system by pressing the exterior trunk release button, hidden below the
license plate. The trunk will release and open.
Refer to theRemote entry systemin this section for more details on
how to use the lock, unlock, panic, or trunk buttons on the transmitter.
Your Intelligent Access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to
communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock
when commanded (either by pressing any keyless entry keypad button,
the trunk button, or a button on the transmitter itself). If excessive RF
interference is present in the area, or if your vehicle battery is low, it
may be necessary to mechanically unlock your door. The mechanical key
blade in your IA key can be used to open the driver’s door in this
situation (refer toIntelligent access keyin this chapter for more
information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade).
A mechanical key is needed for access if the IA key battery or vehicle
battery is low.

SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockpassive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless acoded Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) or
Intelligent Access Keys programmed to your vehicleis used. The
use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition.
Your vehicle comes with two coded Integrated Keyhead Transmitters or
Intelligent Access Keys; additional coded transmitters may be purchased
from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer can program your
spare transmitters to your vehicle or you can program then yourself.
Refer toProgramming spare Integrated Keyhead Transmitters or
Programming Spare Intelligent Access Keysfor instructions on how to
program the coded key.
For Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT), the Standard SecuriLock
keys without remote entry transmitter functionality can also be
purchased from your authorized dealer if desired.
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 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
