SECURILOCKா PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

SecuriLock௡ passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization

system. This system is designed to help 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 authorized dealer. The authorized 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.

Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always

take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.

Anti-theft indicator

The anti-theft indicator is located on top of the instrument panel.

• When the ignition is in the off position, the indicator will flash once

every two seconds to indicate the SecuriLock௡ system is functioning

as a theft deterrent.

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

three 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 on position. If this

occurs, turn the ignition off then back to on to make sure there was no

electronic interference with the programmed key. If the vehicle doesn’t

start, try to start it with the 2nd programmed key and if successful

contact your authorized dealership for key replacement. If the indicator

still flashes rapidly or glows steadily, the vehicle will not start, contact

your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service.

Automatic arming

The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the

accessory position.

The theft indicator will flash every two seconds when the vehicle is

armed.

Automatic disarming

Switching the ignition to the on position with a coded key disarms the

vehicle.

• 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, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.

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 an authorized dealer. 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 authorized dealer to have the spare key(s)

programmed.

Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

1. Insert the first previously programmed coded key into the ignition.

2. Turn the ignition from the 1 (off)

position to the 3 (on) position. Keep

the ignition in the 3 (on) position

for at least three seconds, but no

more than 10 seconds.

3. Turn the ignition to the 1 (off)

position and remove the first coded

key from the ignition.

4. After three seconds but within

ten seconds of turning the ignition

to the 1 (off) position, insert the second previously coded key into the

ignition.

5. Turn the ignition from the 1 (off) position to the 3 (on) position. Keep

the ignition in the 3 (on) position for at least three seconds, but no more

than 10 seconds.

6. Turn the ignition to the 1 (off) position and remove the second

previously programmed coded key from the ignition.

7. After three seconds but within twenty seconds of turning the ignition

to the 1 (off) position and removing the previously programmed coded

key, insert the new unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the

ignition.

8. Turn the ignition from the 1 (off) position to the 3 (on) position. Keep

the ignition in the 3 (on) position for at least three seconds, but not

more than 10 seconds.

9. Remove the newly programmed coded key from the ignition.

If the key has been successfully programmed it will start the vehicle’s

engine and the theft indicator light will illuminate for three seconds and

then go out.

If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start your

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 authorized 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.
