Engine immobiliser
PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
DISARMING THE ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
The engine immobiliser is a theft
protection system that prevents
someone from starting the engine
with an incorrectly coded key.
Switching on the ignition disarms the
system if the correct code is
recognised. The indicator
illuminatesfor approximately three
seconds and then extinguishes.
If the indicator illuminates constantly
for one minute or flashes for
CODED KEYS
approximately one minute and then
repeatedly at irregular intervals, the
system did not recognise the key
code or a system fault is present.
Remove the key and try again.
Note: Do not shield your keys with
metal objects. This may prevent the
receiver from recognising your key
as a valid one.
Note: Have all of your remaining
keys erased and recoded if you lose
a key. Ask your dealer for further
information. Have replacement keys
recoded together with your existing
keys.
If the engine does not start, a system
malfunction has occurred. Have the
system checked by an expert
immediately.
If you lose a key, you can obtain a
replacement from your Ford Dealer.
If possible, provide them with the key
number from the tag provided with
the original keys. You can also obtain
additional keys from your Ford
Dealer.
ARMING THE ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
The engine immobiliser is armed
automatically a short time after you
have switched the ignition off.
The indicator in the instrument cluster
will flash to confirm that the system
is operating.
