MyKey -> Security for Your Ford Explorer SUV Sixth Generation (2012-2020)

Security  
Replacement Keys  
Note: Your vehicle comes with two  
integrated keyhead transmitters or two  
intelligent access keys.  
The integrated keyhead transmitter  
functions as a programmed ignition key  
that operates all the locks and starts the  
vehicle, as well as a remote control.  
PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT  
SYSTEM  
Note: The system is not compatible with  
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems.  
Use of these systems could 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 could 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.  
The intelligent access key functions as a  
programmed key that operates the driver  
door lock and activates the intelligent  
access with push button start system, as  
well as a remote control.  
If your programmed transmitters or  
standard SecuriLock coded keys  
(integrated keyhead transmitters only) are  
lost or stolen and you do not have an extra  
coded key, you will 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.  
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key  
in the vehicle. Always take your keys and  
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.  
SecuriLock®  
Store an extra programmed key away from  
the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent  
any inconveniences. See your authorized  
dealer to purchase additional spare or  
replacement keys.  
The system is an engine immobilization  
system. It helps to prevent anyone from  
starting the engine without using a coded  
key programmed to your vehicle. Using the  
wrong key could 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, there is a problem with  
the system and a message could appear  
in the information display.  
Programming a Spare Intelligent  
Access Key (If Equipped)  
See your authorized dealer to have  
additional keys programmed to your  
vehicle.  
ANTI-THEFT ALARM (IF EQUIPPED)  
Automatic Arming  
The system will warn you of an  
unauthorized entry to your vehicle. It will  
be triggered if any door, the luggage  
compartment or the hood is opened  
without using the key, remote control or  
keyless entry keypad.  
The direction indicators will flash and the  
horn will sound if unauthorized entry is  
attempted while the alarm is armed.  
The vehicle arms immediately after you  
switch the ignition off.  
Automatic Disarming  
Switching the ignition on with a coded key  
disarms the vehicle.

Security  
Take all remote controls to an authorized  
dealer if there is any potential alarm  
problem with your vehicle.  
Arming the Alarm  
The alarm is ready to arm when there is  
not a key in your vehicle. Electronically lock  
your vehicle to arm the alarm.  
Disarming the Alarm  
Disarm the alarm by any of the following  
actions:  
Unlock the doors or luggage  
compartment with the remote control  
or keyless entry keypad.  
Switch your vehicle on or start your  
vehicle.  
Use a key in the driver door to unlock  
your vehicle, then switch your vehicle  
on within 12 seconds.  
Note: Pressing the panic button on the  
remote control will stop the horn and signal  
indicators, but will not disarm the system.
