PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM

 (If Equipped)

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
the engine. Prevent these objects from
touching the coded key while starting the
engine. Switch the ignition off, move all
objects on the key chain away from the
coded key and restart the engine if a
problem occurs.

Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in the vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.

SecuriLock™

The system is an engine immobilization
system.  It helps prevent the engine from
starting unless you use a coded key
programmed to your vehicle.  Using the
wrong key may prevent the engine from
starting.  A message may appear in the
information display.

If you are unable to start the engine with a
correctly coded key, the system has
malfunctioned.  A message may appear in
the information display.

Automatic Arming

The system arms immediately after you
switch the ignition off.

Automatic Disarming

Switching the ignition on with a coded key
disarms the system.

Replacement Keys

Note: Your vehicle may have two integrated
keyhead transmitters.

The integrated keyhead transmitter
functions as a programmed ignition key. It
operates all the locks, starts the vehicle
and acts as a remote control.

If your programmed transmitters or
standard SecuriLock coded keys are lost
or stolen and you do not have an extra
coded key, you 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. Contact an authorized
dealer to purchase additional spare or
replacement keys.

Programming a Spare Integrated
Keyhead Transmitter

Note: You can program a maximum of six
coded keys to your vehicle. All six can be
integrated keyhead transmitters.

You can program your own integrated
keyhead transmitter or standard
SecuriLock coded keys to your vehicle.
This procedure programs both the engine
immobilizer keycode and the remote entry
portion of the remote control to your
vehicle.

Only use integrated keyhead transmitters
or standard SecuriLock keys.

You must have two previously
programmed coded keys and the new
unprogrammed key readily accessible.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the
spare key programmed if two previously
programmed coded keys are not available.

Read and understand the entire procedure
before you begin.

1.

Insert the first previously programmed
coded key into the ignition.

2. Switch the ignition from off to on.  Keep

the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.

3. Switch the ignition off and remove the

first coded key from the ignition.

4. After three seconds but within 10

seconds of switching the ignition off,
insert the second previously coded key
into the ignition.

5. Switch the ignition from off to on.  Keep

the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.

6. Switch the ignition off and remove the

second previously programmed coded
key from the ignition.

7.

After three seconds but within 10
seconds of switching the ignition off
and removing the previously
programmed coded key, insert the new
unprogrammed key into the ignition.

8. Switch the ignition from off to on.  Keep

the ignition on for at least six seconds
until you hear the door locks cycle.

9. Remove the newly programmed coded

key from the ignition.

The key starts the engine if programming
is successful. You can operate the remote
entry system if the new key is an integrated
keyhead transmitter.

If programming was not successful, wait
20 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8.
If you are still unsuccessful, take your
vehicle to an authorized dealer.

Programming a Spare Intelligent
Access Key

Note: You can program a maximum of four
intelligent access keys to your vehicle.

Note: If your programmed transmitters are
lost or stolen and you do not have an extra
coded key, you 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
inconvenience. Contact an authorized dealer
to purchase additional spare or replacement
keys.

You must have two previously
programmed intelligent access keys inside
your vehicle and the new unprogrammed
intelligent access keys readily accessible.
Contact an authorized dealer to have the
spare key programmed if two previously
programmed keys are not available.

Make sure that your vehicle is off before
beginning this procedure.  Make sure that
you close all the doors before beginning
and that they remain closed throughout
the procedure.  Perform all steps within 30
seconds of starting the sequence.  Stop
and wait for at least one minute before
starting again if you perform any steps out
of sequence.

Read and understand the entire procedure
before you begin.
