Security
SecuriLock® passive anti-theft system
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 issues 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.
The system is an engine immobilization system. It helps prevent the engine from starting unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. 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, a malfunction has happened and a message may appear in the information display.
Automatic Arming
Your vehicle arms immediately after you switch the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Your vehicle disarms when you switch the ignition on with a coded key.
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.
The intelligent access key functions as a programmed key that operates the driver door lock and activates the intelligent access with push button start systems, 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. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be programmed.
Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. See an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys.
Programming a Spare Integrated Keyhead Transmitter
Note: You can program a maximum of eight coded keys to your vehicle.
Only four of these eight can be integrated keyhead transmitters.
You can program your own integrated keyhead transmitters or standard SecuriLock coded keys to your vehicle. This procedure will program both the engine immobilizer key code 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. See 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 20 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.
9. Remove the newly programmed coded key from the ignition.
The key will start the engine and will operate the remote entry system (if the new key is an integrated keyhead transmitter) if it has been successfully programmed.
Wait 20 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8 if programming the key was not successful. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have the new key programmed if you are still unsuccessful.
Wait 20 seconds and then repeat this procedure from Step 1 to program an additional key.
Programming a Spare Intelligent Access Key (if equipped)
Note: You can program a maximum of four intelligent access keys to your vehicle. You must take your vehicle and all access keys to an authorized dealer to have them erased and reprogrammed if you would like to replace a previously programmed access key with a new access key, or if you already have four access keys programmed to your vehicle.
You must have two previously programmed intelligent access keys inside the vehicle and the new unprogrammed intelligent access keys readily accessible. See an authorized dealer to have the spare key programmed if two previously programmed keys are not available.
Make sure that the vehicle is off before beginning this procedure. Make sure to 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.
1. Place the new unprogrammed intelligent access key, with the buttons facing
out, in the pocket inside of the center console.
2. Press the driver or passenger power door unlock control three times.
3. Press and release the brake pedal one time.
4. Press the driver or passenger power door lock control three times.
5. Press and release the brake pedal one time. The indicator on the START/STOP button
should begin to flash rapidly. This indicates the vehicle is in programming mode
and that it has detected two programmed intelligent access keys in the vehicle.
6. Press the START/STOP button within one minute. A message will appear in the information
display indicating that the new intelligent access key was programmed.
7. Remove the intelligent access key from the center console pocket and press the
unlock button on the newly programmed intelligent access key to exit programming
mode.
8. Verify that the remote entry functions operate (press lock then unlock, making
sure you end in unlock) and that the vehicle starts with new intelligent access
key.
