Activating/deactivating autolock with the keyless entry system
Before following the activation or
deactivation procedures, make sure
that the anti-theft system (if
equipped) is not armed, ignition is
off, and all vehicle doors and liftgate
window are closed.
1. Enter 5–digit entry code
2. Press and hold 7•8 control
3. Press and release 3•4 control
while holding 7•8 control
4. Release 7•8 control
The horn will chirp once if autolock
was deactivated or twice (one short
and one long chirp) if autolock was
activated.
To re-activate autolock, repeat Steps 1–4.
SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLock
passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to prevent the engine from being started
unless acoded key programmed to your vehicleis used.
The SecuriLock
passive 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.
THEFT INDICATOR
The theft indicator is the flashing red indicator located on the dash
panel.
•When the ignition is in the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position, the indicator will
flash once every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock
system is
functioning as a theft deterrent.
•When the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position, the indicator will glow for
3 seconds to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock
system, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position. If
this occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for
service.

Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately
after switching the ignition to the 1
(OFF/LOCK) position. The theft
indicator will flash every two
seconds.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 3 (ON) position with acoded keydisarms
the vehicle. The theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then
go out. If the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or
flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealership or a
qualified technician.
Key information
Your vehicle is supplied withtwo coded keys.Only acoded keywill
start your vehicle. Spare coded keys can be purchased from your
dealership. Your dealership can program your key or you can“do it
yourself.”Refer to theProgramming spare keyssection in this chapter.
The following items may prevent the vehicle from starting:
•Large metallic objects
•Electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase
gasoline or similar items
•A second key on the same key ring as thecoded key
If any of these items are present, you need to keep these objects from
touching thecoded keywhile starting the engine. These objects and
devices cannot damage thecoded key,but can cause a momentary“no
start”condition if they are too close to the key during engine start. If a
problem occurs, turn ignition to the OFF position and restart the engine
with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key.
Check to make sure thecoded keyis an approved Lincolncoded key.
If your keys are lost or stolen you will need to do the following:
•Use your spare key to start the vehicle, or
•Have your vehicle towed to a dealership or a 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 keymust be used for your vehicle. The use of the
wrong type ofcoded keymay lead to a“no start”condition.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a“no
start”condition.
Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only
SecuriLock
keys 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
programmedcoded keyinto the
ignition and turn the ignition from 1
(OFF/LOCK) to 3 (ON) (maintain
ignition in 3 (ON) for at least one
second, but no more than ten
seconds).
2. Turn ignition to 1 (OFF/LOCK)
and remove the firstcoded key
from the ignition.
3. Within ten seconds of removing the firstcoded key,insert the second
previously programmedcoded keyinto the ignition and turn the ignition
from 1 (OFF/LOCK) to 3 (ON) (maintain ignition in 3 (ON) for at least
one second but no more than ten seconds).
4. Turn the ignition to 1 (OFF/LOCK) and remove the secondcoded key
from 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 1 (OFF/LOCK) to 3 (ON) (maintain ignition in 3 (ON) for
at least one second, but no more than ten seconds). This step will
program your new key to a coded key.

Front safety belt usage sensors
The front safety belt usage sensors detect whether or not the driver and
front outboard passenger safety belts are fastened. This information
allows your Personal Safety System to tailor the air bag deployment and
safety belt pretensioner activation depending upon safety belt usage.
Refer toSafety restraintssection in this chapter.
Front safety belt pretensioners
The safety belt pretensioners at the front outboard seating positions are
designed to tighten the safety belts firmly against the occupant’s body
during frontal collisions, and in side collisions and rollovers when the
vehicle is equipped with the Safety Canopy
system. This maximizes the
effectiveness of the safety belts. In frontal collisions, the safety belt
pretensioners can be activated alone or, if the collision is of sufficient
severity, together with the front air bags.
Front safety belt energy management retractors
The front outboard safety belt energy management retractors allow
webbing to be pulled out of the retractor in a gradual and controlled
manner in response to the occupant’s forward momentum. This helps
reduce the risk of force-related injuries to the occupant’s chest by
limiting the load on the occupant. Refer toSafety restraintssection in
this chapter.
Determining if the Personal Safety System is operational
The Personal Safety System uses a warning light in the instrument
cluster or a back-up tone to indicate the condition of the system. Refer
to theWarning lights and chimessection in theInstrument Cluster
chapter. Routine maintenance of the Personal Safety System is not
required.
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) monitors its own internal circuits
and the circuits for the air bag supplemental restraints, crash sensor(s),
safety belt pretensioners, front safety belt buckle sensors, and the driver
seat position sensor. In addition, the RCM also monitors the restraints
warning light in the instrument cluster. A difficulty with the system is
indicated by one or more of the following:
•The warning light will either flash or stay lit.
•The warning light will not illuminate immediately after the ignition is
turned on.
•A series of five beeps will be heard. The tone pattern will repeat
periodically until the problem and warning light are repaired.

Front and second row safety belt height adjustment
Your vehicle has safety belt height
adjustments for the driver, right
front passenger and second row
outboard passengers. Adjust the
height of the shoulder belt so the
belt rests across the middle of your
shoulder.
To lower the shoulder belt height,
push the button and slide the height
adjuster down. To raise the height
of the shoulder belt, push the
button and slide the height adjuster up. Pull down on the height adjuster
to make sure it is locked in place.
Position the safety belt height adjusters so that the belt rests
across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety
belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and
increase the risk of injury in a collision.

The safety belt warning light illuminates in the instrument cluster and a
chime sounds to remind the occupants to fasten their safety belts.
