PASSIVE 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 programmed key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting
problems if they are too close to the key
when starting the engine. Prevent these
objects from touching the programmed key
while starting the engine. Switch the ignition
off, move all objects on the key chain away
from the programmed key and restart the
engine if a problem occurs.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate
programmed key in your vehicle. Always
take your keys and lock all doors when
leaving your vehicle.
SecuriLock®
The system is an engine immobilization
system. It is designed to help prevent the
engine from being started unless a
programmed key for your vehicle is used.
Using an incorrectly programmed 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
programmed key, a malfunction has
happened and a message may appear in
the information display.
Automatic Arming
The engine immobilization system arms
immediately after you switch the ignition
off. Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a
programmed key disarms the engine
immobilization system.
Replacement Keys
If your keys are lost or stolen and you do
not have a spare programmed key, you will
need to have your vehicle towed to an
authorized dealer. You need to erase the
programmed keys from your vehicle and
program new keys.
Store an extra programmed key away from
your vehicle in a safe place to help prevent
any inconveniences. We recommend that
you contact an authorized dealer to
purchase additional spare or replacement
keys.
Note:
Your vehicle comes with two keys.
Programming a Remote Flip Key
The procedure programs both the vehicle
immobilizer keycode and the remote entry
portion of the remote control to your
vehicle.
To program a new key, you require two
programmed keys and one unprogrammed
key with you in your vehicle.
We recommend that you contact an
authorized dealer to have the key
programmed if you do not have two
programmed keys.
Make sure that you complete the
procedure within 30 seconds.
Stop and wait for at least one minute
before you start again if you miss a step.
Note: You can program a maximum of six
keys to your vehicle.
Read the entire procedure before you
begin.
1. Close all the doors.

engine.
Wait 20 seconds and repeat the procedure
to program an additional key.
Programming a Passive Key
The procedure programs both the vehicle
immobilizer keycode and the remote entry
portion of the remote control to your
vehicle. To program a new key, you require two
programmed keys and one unprogrammed
key with you in your vehicle.

authorized dealer to have the key
