Keep vehicle doors and luggage
compartment locked and keep keys
and remote transmitters out of a child
’s
reach. Unsupervised children could lock
themselves in the trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to play in
vehicles. Do not leave children or animals
unattended in the vehicle. On hot days,
the temperature in the luggage
compartment or vehicle interior can rise very
quickly. Exposure of people or animals to
these high temperatures for even a short time
can cause death or serious heat-related
injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk. Your vehicle is equipped with a release
handle that provides a means of escape for
children and adults if they become locked
inside the luggage compartment.Adults should familiarize themselves with
the operation and location of the release
handle.

The handle is located inside the luggage
compartment either on the luggage
compartment door (lid) or near the tail
lamps. It is composed of a material that will
glow for hours in darkness following brief
exposure to ambient light.
Pull the handle and push up on the luggage
compartment door (lid) to open from within
the luggage compartment.

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 problems if they
are too close to the key when starting your
vehicle. Prevent these objects from touching
the coded key while starting your vehicle.
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
all doors when leaving your vehicle. The
system is an engine immobilization system. It
will not start without a coded key programmed
to your vehicle. If you use the wrong key, a
message may appear in the information
display. SecuriLock
The system helps prevent your vehicle 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, it is not operating
properly. A message may appear in the
information display.
Automatic Arming
Your vehicle arms immediately after
switching the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a coded key
disarms your vehicle.
Replacement Keys
Note:
Your vehicle comes equipped 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 system, as well as a
remote control. If your programmed transmitters are lost or
stolen and you do not have an extra coded
key, you will need to have your vehicle towed
to an authorized dealer. You need to erase
the key codes from your vehicle and program
new coded keys.
Store an extra programmed key away from
your vehicle in a safe place to help prevent
any inconveniences. Contact your authorized
dealer to purchase additional spare or
replacement keys.
Programming a Spare Intelligent Access
Key
Note:
You can program a maximum of four
intelligent access keys to your vehicle.
You must have two previously programmed
intelligent access keys inside your vehicle and
the new unprogrammed intelligent access
keys readily accessible. Contact an
authorized dealer to have the spare key
programmed if two previously programmed
keys are not available.
