SECURILOCKி PASSIVE 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 a coded key programmed to your vehicle is 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 keys for 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.

• When the ignition is in the RUN position, the indicator will glow for 3

seconds to indicate normal system functionality.

If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock௢ system, the indicator will flash

rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the RUN position. If this

occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service.

Automatic arming

Automatic disarming

Switching the ignition to the 3 (ON) position with a coded key disarms

• The theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out.

• If the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or

flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealer.

Replacement keys

If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key,

you will need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership. The key codes

need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be

programmed.

Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key

away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any

inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional

spare or replacement keys.

Programming spare keys

You can program your own coded keys to your vehicle.

Tips:

• A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.

• Only use Securilock௢ keys.

• You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that

already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed

key(s) readily accessible.

• If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must

take your vehicle to your dealer to have the spare key(s)

programmed.

Please read and understand the

entire procedure before you begin.

vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator light will flash on and off, and

you may repeat Steps 1 through 5. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle

to your dealer to have the new key(s) programmed.

To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), wait twenty seconds

and then repeat this procedure from Step 1.

PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The perimeter anti-theft system will warn you in the event of an

unauthorized entry to your vehicle.

If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,

ensure ALL remote entry transmitters are taken to the dealership to

aid in troubleshooting.

ARMING THE SYSTEM

When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the headlamps

and/or parking lamps, and will chirp the horn.

The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the

ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:

• Open any door, liftgate or liftgate window and press the power door

lock control to lock the doors.

• Press the

on the remote transmitter (doors opened or closed).

When you press the lock control twice within three seconds on your

remote entry transmitter, the horn will chirp once to let you know that

all doors/hood/liftgate and liftgate window are closed. Note: If any of

these are not closed, the horn will chirp twice to warn you that a

door/hood/liftgate or liftgate window is still open.

• Press 7 • 8 and the 9 • 0 controls on the keyless entry pad at the

same time to lock the doors (driver’s door must be closed).

There is a 20 second countdown when any of the above actions occur

before the vehicle becomes ARMED.
