PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Note:
The system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems.
Use of these systems may result in engine
starting problems and a loss of security
protection.
Note: Metallic objects, electronic devices
or a second coded key on the same key
chain may result in vehicle starting problems,
especially if they are too close to the key
when starting your vehicle. Prevent these
objects from touching the coded key when
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. SecuriLock®
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
coded key, it is not operating correctly. A
message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
The system arms when you switch the
ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
The system disarms when you switch the
ignition on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note:
Your vehicle comes with two keys. The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and turns on the intelligent access
with push button start system, as well as a
remote control.
If your coded keys are lost or stolen and you
do not have an extra coded key, you need
to erase the key codes from your vehicle and
program new coded keys. Contact an
authorized dealer.
Store a spare intelligent access key away
from your vehicle in a safe place. You can
purchase replacement keys or remote
controls from an authorized dealer.
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.
