SECURILOCK
PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

system. This system is designed to prevent the engine from being started
unless acoded key programmed to your vehicleis used.
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.
THEFT INDICATOR
The theft indicator is the flashing red indicator located on the dash
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.
•When the ignition is in the ON position, the indicator will glow for 3
seconds to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLocksystem, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the ON position. If this
occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately
after switching the ignition to the 3
(OFF) position. The
THEFT
indicator in the instrument cluster
will flash every two seconds when
the vehicle is armed.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 4 (ON) position with acoded keydisarms
the vehicle. The
THEFTindicator will illuminate for three seconds and
then go out. If the
THEFTindicator stays on for an extended period of
time or flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealership or a
qualified technician.
