SECURILOCK

姟 PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

SecuriLock

娂 passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization

system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The
use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition.

Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be
purchased from your dealer. The dealer can program your spare keys to
your vehicle or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to
Programming spare keys for instructions on how to program the coded
key.

Note: The SecuriLock

娂 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.

Theft indicator

The theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster.
• When the ignition is in the 2 (LOCK) position, the indicator will flash

once every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock

娂 system is

functioning as a theft deterrent.

• When the ignition is in the 4 (ON) position, the indicator will glow for

3 seconds, then turn off to indicate normal system functionality.

If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock

娂 system, the indicator will flash

rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the 4 (ON) position. If
this occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for
service.
