Ford Excursion (2005 year). Manual — part 23

Automatic arming

The vehicle is armed immediately
after switching the ignition to the 3
(OFF) position.

The

THEFT

indicator will flash

every two seconds when the vehicle
is armed.

Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 4 (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, have the system serviced by your dealer.

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 a dealership. 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娂 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 dealer to have the spare key(s)
programmed.

Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON) position for at least one second, but no
more than 10 seconds.

11. 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, or stay
on for more than three seconds. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to
your 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.
