SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLock
passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to prevent the engine from being started
unless acoded key programmed to your vehicleis used. The use of
the wrong type of coded key may lead to a“no-start”condition.
Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be
purchased from your dealer. The dealer can program your spare keys to
your vehicle or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to
Programming spare keysfor instructions on how to program the coded
key.
Note:The SecuriLock
passive anti-theft 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:Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to
purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These
objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a
momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.
Theft indicator
The theft indicator is located on top of the instrument panel.
•When the ignition is in the OFF position, the indicator will flash once
every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock
system is functioning as
a theft deterrent.

PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from
unauthorized entry.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare taken to the dealership to
aid in troubleshooting.
Your perimeter alarm system may include an interior motion detection
system (intrusion sensing). The interior motion detection system detects
an unauthorized vehicle entry by sensing movement within the vehicle.
The interior motion detection system will operate only when the
vehicle is locked using the remote keyless entry (keypad or
remote transmitters). If you lock the vehicle using the key in the
driver’s door key cylinder, the perimeter alarm will arm, but the
interior motion detection system will not arm.
Do not arm the interior motion detection system if movement within the
vehicle is likely to occur (i.e. a pet is left inside the vehicle).
For proper operation of the interior motion detection system, close all
windows and moonroof prior to arming the system. This will prevent
accidental alarm activation caused by external influences and ensure
proper interior motion detection.
Arming the system
When armed, the perimeter alarm will notify you of an unauthorized
entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the park
lamps and will sound the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is out of the ignition. Any
of the following actions will arm the alarm system:
•Press the remote transmitter lock control one time to arm the system.
•Lock all doors using the keypad.
•Lock all doors using the interior power lock switch while the driver or
passenger door is open and then closed.
•Lock all doors with the key in the key lock cylinder (this willnotarm
the interior motion detection system, if equipped).
The park lamps will flash once and the horn will chirp once if all the
closures are closed.
If any closure is not properly closed, the park lamps will not flash and
the horn will chirp twice.
The system will wait 20 seconds after one of the actions is performed
before allowing an alarm to go off. After the 20–second pre-arm phase,

the interior trim remote trunk release control and the power door unlock
control are disabled, in order to further protect your vehicle.
Disarming the system
You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
•Unlock the doors by using the remote entry transmitter.
•Unlock the doors using a valid code on the keypad.
•Unlock the doors with the key in the key lock cylinder.
•Turn the ignition to RUN with a programmed coded ignition key.
Note:To open the trunk and momentarily suspend the alarm system (for
example, if you armed the vehicle and forgot to place or retrieve an item
from the trunk), open the trunk using the remote entry transmitter or
the keyless keypad. If you use the key in the trunk lock cylinder in order
to open the trunk, the alarm may go off. Your vehicle’s doors and hood
will remain protected; only the trunk and interior motion detector are
momentarily suspended (until the trunk is closed again).

Seat mounted cup holders
Your vehicle may be equipped with cupholders in the cushion of the
front center seat and the rear seat . The rear seat cupholder is designed
to over rotate from the seat when subjected to a heavy load. The rear
seat cupholder can be reset by rotating to the closed position.
Use only soft cups in the cupholder. Hard objects can injure you
in a collision.
Memory seats/rearview mirrors/adjustable pedals (if equipped)
This system allows automatic
positioning of the driver seat,
outside rearview mirrors, and
adjustable pedals to three
programmable positions.
The memory seat control is located on the driver door.
•To program position one, move the driver seat to the desired position
using the seat controls. Press the SET control. The SET control
indicator light will briefly illuminate. While the light is illuminated,
press control 1.
•
To program position two, repeat the previous procedure using control 2.
•To program position three, repeat the previous procedure but press
controls 1 and 2 simultaneously.

entry transmitter UNLOCK control.
