SECURILOCK® 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 coded key on the
same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues if they are too close to
the key when starting your vehicle. 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 your
vehicle if a problem occurs.
Note:Do not leave a duplicate coded key in your vehicle. Always take
your keys and lock the all doors when leaving your vehicle.
The system helps prevent the engine from starting unless you use a
coded key programmed to your vehicle. Using the wrong key may
prevent your vehicle from starting. A message may appear in the
information display.
If you are unable to start your vehicle with a correctly coded key, a
malfunction has occurred. A message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
Your vehicle arms immediately after you switch the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Your vehicle disarms when you switch the ignition on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note:Your vehicle comes with two intelligent access keys.
The intelligent access key functions as a programmed key that operates
the driver door lock and activates the intelligent access with push button
start systems, as well as a remote control.
If your intelligent access key is lost or stolen and you do not 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.
Store an extra programmed key away from your vehicle in a safe place to
help prevent any inconveniences. See an authorized dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.
