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.
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, a
malfunction has happened. 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. See
your authorized dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.

Access Key

for four intelligent access keys to your

• Comfort – Provides a more relaxeddriving experience, maximizing
comfort. Steering effort is
decreased and suspension
movement is more fluid. Comfort
mode is ideal when enhanced
traveling comfort is desired.
• Normal – Delivers a balanced combination of comfortable,
controlled ride and confident
handling. This mode provides an
engaging drive experience and a
direct connection to the road
without sacrificing any of the
composure demanded from a
luxury vehicle.
• Sport – Provides a sportier driving experience. Suspension stiffens,
with an emphasis on handling and
control. The engine responds more
directly to your inputs and takes
on a more powerful tone. Sport
mode is intended to be used during
more spirited driving.
