Ford E-150 (2011 year). Manual — part 20

Note: The SecuriLock

威 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 in the instrument cluster.

Vehicles equipped with the
SecuriLock

威 Passive Anti-theft

system behave as follows:
• When the ignition is in the off

position, the indicator will flash once every two seconds for a total of
10 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock

威 system is functioning as a

theft deterrent.

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

three seconds to indicate a programmed key has been validated and
the SecuriLock

威 Passive Anti-theft system has enabled the engine.

Vehicles without the SecuriLock

威 Passive Anti-theft system behave as

follows:
• When the ignition is in the off position, the indicator will not flash.
• When the ignition is in the on position, the indicator will glow for

three seconds to indicate the engine is enabled.

Automatic arming

The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off
position.

Automatic disarming

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

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. Please read and
understand the entire procedure before you begin.

Tips:
• A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.
• Only use SecuriLock威 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 no previously programmed coded keys are available, you must take

your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare key(s)
programmed.

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

2. Turn the ignition from the 2
(lock) position to the 4 (on)
position. Keep the ignition in the 4
(on) position for at least one
second, but no more than
10 seconds.

3. Turn the ignition to the 2 (lock)
position, and remove the coded key from the ignition.

4. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of removing the previously
programmed coded key, insert the other previously programmed coded
key into the ignition.

5. Turn the ignition from the 2 (lock) position to the 4 (on) position.
Keep the ignition in the 4 (on) position for at least one second but not
more than 10 seconds.

6. Turn the ignition to the 2 (lock) position, and remove the second key
from the ignition.

7. After three seconds but within 20 seconds of removing the previously
programmed coded key, insert the unprogrammed key (new/valet key)
into the ignition.

8. Turn the ignition from the 2 (lock) position to the 4 (on) position.
Keep the ignition in the 4 (on) position for at least one second.

9. Your new unprogrammed key is now programmed.

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
rapidly. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your authorized dealer to
have the new key(s) programmed.

To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this procedure
from Step 1 for each additional key.

FRONT SEATING

WARNING: Reclining the seatback can cause an occupant to
slide under the seat’s safety belt, resulting in severe personal

injuries in the event of a collision.

WARNING: Do not pile cargo higher than the seatbacks to
reduce the risk of injury in a collision or sudden stop.

WARNING: Before returning the seatback to its original
position, make sure that cargo or any objects are not trapped

behind the seatback. After returning the seatback to its original
position, pull on the seatback to ensure that it has fully latched. An
unlatched seat may become dangerous in the event of a sudden stop or
collision.

Non-adjustable head restraints

Your vehicle is equipped with front row outboard non-adjustable head
restraints.

WARNING: To minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a
crash, the driver and passenger occupants should not sit in

and/or operate the vehicle, until the seatback is placed in its proper
position. The driver should never adjust the seatback while the vehicle
is in motion.

The non-adjustable head restraints
consist of a trimmed foam covering
over the upper structure of the
seatback.

Properly adjust the seatback to an upright driving/riding position, so that
the head restraint is positioned as close as possible to the back of your
head.
