intelligent access key
• touching the locking area on the
handle with another intelligent access
key in your hand.

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, 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. See 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.
See an authorized dealer to have the
spare key programmed if two previously
programmed keys are not available.

DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS (IF
EQUIPPED) WARNING
Always remember to switch your
headlamps on in low light situations
or during inclement weather. The system
does not activate the tail lamps and may
not provide adequate lighting during these
conditions. Failure to activate your
headlamps under these conditions may
result in a collision. The system switches the signature lamps
on in day light conditions.
To switch the system on, switch the
ignition on, and switch the lighting control
to the off, autolamp, or parking lamp
position.
AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM
CONTROL
(IF EQUIPPED)
The system will automatically turn on your
high beams if it is dark enough and no
other traffic is present. When it detects the
headlights of an approaching vehicle, the
tail lamps of the preceding vehicle or
street lighting, the system will turn off the
high beams before they distract other
drivers. The low beams remain on.
Note: If it appears that automatic control
of the high beams is not functioning
properly, check the windshield in front of
the camera for a blockage. A clear view
of the road is required for proper system
operation. Have any windshield damage
in the area of the camera ’s field-of-view
repaired. Note:
If the system detects a blockage
such as bird droppings, bug splatter, snow
or ice, and you do not observe changes,
the system will go into low beam mode
until you clear the blockage. A message
may also appear in the instrument cluster
display noting the front camera is blocked.
Note: Typical road dust, dirt and water
spots will not affect the performance of
the automatic high beam system .
However, in cold or inclement weather
conditions, you will notice a decrease in
the availability of the high beam system,
especially at start up. If you want to
change the beam state independently of
the system, you may switch the high
beams on or off using the multifunction
switch. Automatic control will resume
when conditions are correct.
Note: Modification of the vehicle ride
height such as using much larger tires,
may degrade feature performance.
A camera sensor, centrally mounted
behind the windshield of your vehicle,
continuously monitors conditions to decide
when to switch the high beams off and on.
Once the system is active, the high beams
will switch on if:
• the ambient light level is low enough
• there is no traffic in front of the vehicle
• the vehicle speed is greater than
25 mph (40 km/h)
The high beams will switch off if:
• the system detects the headlamps of
an approaching vehicle or the tail
lamps of a preceding vehicle.
• vehicle speed falls below
16 mph
(25 km/h)
