Releasing the trunk with the keyless entry system
To release/open the trunk, enter the factory-set code or personal code
(driver door unlocks) and press 5•6 within five seconds.
If your vehicle is equipped with the optional power decklid, pressing 5•
6 again will close it (you may need to reenter the keypad code again).
Before operating the power decklid, be sure that no one,
particularly a child, is in a position where he or she can be
injured by the trunk lid. NEVER leave the remote entry transmitter
where it can be inadvertently activated, as someone could be seriously
injured by a moving decklid.
SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockpassive 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 SecuriLockpassive 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 SecuriLocksystem 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,

accessories such as the radio to
operate while the engine is not
running.
2. LOCK, locks the automatic
transmission gearshift lever and
allows key removal.

lever to be moved from the P (Park) position without the brake pedal
being depressed.
When the key is in the ignition OFF position, the automatic
transmission shift lever can be moved from the P (Park) position
without the brake pedal depressed. To avoid unwanted vehicle

position when driving.
5. START, cranks the engine. Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
Refer to theSecurilockPassive Anti-Theft Systemsection in the
Locks and securitychapter for information on Securilockkeys.
Preparing to start your vehicle
Engine starting is controlled by the powertrain control system. This
system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment standard
requirements regulating the impulse electrical field strength of radio
noise.
When starting a fuel-injected engine, avoid pressing the accelerator
before or during starting. Only use the accelerator when you have
difficulty starting the engine. For more information on starting the
vehicle, refer toStarting the enginein this chapter.
