SECURILOCK

姟 PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM

SecuriLock

娂 passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization

system. This system is designed to 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.

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 and key codes
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 no previously programmed coded keys are available, you must take

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

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

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

4. Within ten seconds of removing the previously programmed coded key,
insert the other previously programmed coded key into the ignition.

5. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) 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 3 (OFF) position, and remove the second key
from the ignition.

7. Within twenty seconds of removing the previously programmed coded
key, insert the unprogrammed key (new/valet key) into the ignition.

8. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) 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. 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.
