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
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.

Anti-theft indicator

The anti-theft indicator is located on top of the instrument panel.
• When the ignition is in the 3 (OFF) 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 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.

Key information

Your vehicle is supplied with two coded keys. Only a coded key will
start your vehicle. Spare coded keys may be purchased from an
authorized dealer. An authorized dealer can also program your coded
key, or you can do it yourself. Refer to Programming spare keys in this
chapter.

The following items may prevent the vehicle from starting:
• Large metallic objects.
• Electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase

gasoline or similar items.

• A second key on the same key ring as the coded key.
If any of these items are present, you need to prevent these objects from
touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects cannot
damage the coded key, but may cause a momentary “no start” condition
if they are too close to the key when starting the engine. If a problem
occurs, turn the ignition to the 2 (OFF) position and restart the engine
with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key.
Check to make sure the coded key is an approved coded key.
