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.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Single wipe.
A
Intermittent wipe.
B
Normal wipe.
C
High-speed wipe.
D
Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure that you switch the
windshield wipers off before entering a car
wash.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. See Checking the Wiper
Blades (page 285). If that does not resolve
the issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Front Wiper Blades
(page
285).
Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass or
damage the wiper blades. Always use the
windshield washers before wiping a dry
windshield. Intermittent Wipe
Short wipe interval.
A
Intermittent wipe.
B
Long wipe interval.
C
Use the rotary control to adjust the
intermittent wipe interval.
Note: When your vehicle speed increases,
the interval between intermittent wipes may
decrease.
AUTOWIPERS
Autowipers uses a rain sensor in the area
around the interior mirror. The wipers
operate when the rain sensor detects
water on the windshield in front of it. The
rain sensor continues to monitor the
amount of water and adjusts the speed of
the wipers.
Note: The wipers remain in a slightly raised
position during operation and only return to
the park position a short time after the rain
sensor detects no water on the windshield.
You can switch autowipers on or off in the
information display.
Note: If you switch autowipers off in the
information display, the windshield wipers
operate in intermittent mode.

High sensitivity.
A
Autowipers on.
B
Low sensitivity.
C
Move the wiper lever upward to the first
position to switch autowipers on.
Use the rotary control to adjust the
sensitivity of the autowipers. When you
select low sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a large amount
of water on the windshield. When you
select high sensitivity, the wipers operate
when the sensor detects a small amount
of water on the windshield.
Note: Keep the outside of the windshield
clean. The rain sensor is very sensitive and
the wipers may operate if dirt, mist or
insects hit the windshield. If you leave autowipers on, it may not
operate when you switch the ignition on
during freezing temperatures. This is
because the system has deactivated the
rain sensor to prevent damage to the
windshield wipers. Defrost the windshield
before reactivating the rain sensor. You
can reactivate the rain sensor by moving
the rotary control or switching autowipers
off and on.
Note:
Fully defrost the windshield before
you switch the windshield wipers on.
Note: Make sure that you switch the
windshield wipers off before entering a car
wash.
Wet or winter weather conditions could
cause unexpected wiping or smearing.
To keep the windshield clear:
• Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing on
the windshield.
• Switch autowipers off.
Note: If streaks or smears appear on the
windshield, clean the windshield and the
wiper blades. If that does not resolve the
issue, install new wiper blades. See
Changing the Front Wiper Blades (page
285).
