Ford Expedition (2018 year). Manual — part 18

Note:

Entering your vehicle when the

liftgate is closing can cause your vehicle to
bounce and activate obstacle detection. To
prevent this, let the power liftgate close
completely before you enter your vehicle.
Before driving off, check the instrument
cluster for a liftgate or door ajar message or
warning indicator. Failure to do this could
result in unintentionally leaving the liftgate
open when driving.

When Opening

The system stops when it detects an
obstacle and two short tones sound.
Remove the obstacle to operate the
liftgate.

Using the Hands-Free Liftgate

(If

Equipped)

Make sure you have a passive key within
3 ft (1 m) of the liftgate.

1.

Stand behind your vehicle, and face the
liftgate.

2. Move your foot, in a single-kick motion,

without pausing, under and away from
the rear bumper detection area.

3. The liftgate power opens or closes.

Vehicles Without a Trailer Hitch

E253664

The detection area is in the center of the
rear bumper.

Vehicles With a Trailer Hitch

E253799

The detection area is on the left-hand side
and right-hand side of the hitch, between
the exhaust and the hitch.

Avoid the following actions when using
hands-free opening:

•

Making physical contact with the
bumper.

•

Holding your foot under the bumper.

•

Sweeping your foot from side to side,
or kicking at an odd angle.

Note:

Allow the power system to open the

liftgate. Manually pushing or pulling the
liftgate may activate the system’s obstacle
detection and stop the power operation or
reverse its direction, replicate a strut failure,
or damage mechanical components.

Note:

Splashing water may cause the

hands-free liftgate to open. Keep the
passive key away from the rear bumper
detection area when you wash your vehicle.

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM

Note:

The 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:

Metallic objects, electronic devices

or a second coded key on the same key
chain may cause vehicle starting problems
if they are too close to the key when starting
the engine. Prevent these objects from
touching the coded key while starting the
engine. Switch the ignition off, move all
objects on the key chain away from the
coded key and restart the engine if a
problem occurs.

Note:

Do not leave a duplicate coded key

in the vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.

SecuriLock™

The system is an engine immobilization
system. The intended design is to help
prevent the engine from starting unless a
coded key programmed to your vehicle is
used. Using the wrong key may prevent
the engine from starting. A message may
appear in the information display.

If you are unable to start the engine with a
correctly coded key, a malfunction has
happened and a message may appear in
the information display.

Automatic Arming

The vehicle arms immediately after you
switch the ignition off.

Automatic Disarming

If you switch the ignition on with a coded
key you disarm the vehicle. If you unlock
the doors with the touch handle you disarm
the alarm.

Replacement Keys

Note:

Your vehicle comes equipped with

two intelligent access keys.

The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and activates the intelligent
access with push button start system, as
well as a remote control.

If your programmed transmitters are lost
or stolen and you do not have an extra
coded key, you will need to have your
vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. You
need to erase the key codes from your
vehicle and program new coded keys.

Store an extra programmed key away from
the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent
any inconveniences. See your authorized
dealer to purchase additional spare or
replacement keys.

Programming a Spare Integrated
Keyhead Transmitter

Note:

You can program a maximum of

eight coded keys to your vehicle. All eight
can be integrated keyhead transmitters.

You can program your own integrated
keyhead transmitter or standard
SecuriLock coded keys to your vehicle.
This procedure programs both the engine
immobilizer keycode and the remote entry
portion of the remote control to your
vehicle

Only use integrated keyhead transmitters
or standard SecuriLock keys.

You must have two previously
programmed coded keys and the new
unprogrammed key readily accessible. See
your authorized dealer to have the spare
key programmed if two previously
programmed coded keys are not available.

Read and understand the entire procedure
before you begin.

1.

Insert the first previously programmed
coded key into the ignition.

2. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep

the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.

3. Switch the ignition off and remove the

first coded key from the ignition.

4. After three seconds but within 10

seconds of switching the ignition off,
insert the second previously coded key
into the ignition.

5. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep

the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.

6. Switch the ignition off and remove the

second previously programmed coded
key from the ignition.

7.

After three seconds but within 10
seconds of switching the ignition off
and removing the previously
programmed coded key, insert the new
unprogrammed key into the ignition.

8. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep

the ignition on for at least six seconds.

9. Remove the newly programmed coded

key from the ignition.

If the key has been successfully
programmed it will start the engine and
operate the remote entry system (if the
new key is an integrated keyhead
transmitter).

If programming was not successful, wait
10 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8.
If you are still unsuccessful, take your
vehicle to your authorized dealer.

Programming a Spare Intelligent
Access Key

Note:

You can program a maximum of four

keys to your vehicle.

You must have two previously
programmed intelligent access keys inside
your vehicle and the new unprogrammed
intelligent access key readily accessible.
You can purchase replacement keys or
remote controls from an authorized dealer.

Make sure that the ignition is switched off
before beginning this procedure. Make sure
that you close all the doors before
beginning and that they remain closed
throughout the procedure. Carry out all
steps within 30 seconds of starting the
sequence. Stop and wait for at least one
minute before starting again if you carry
out any steps out of sequence.

Read and understand the entire procedure
before you begin.

ANTI-THEFT ALARM

The system will warn you of an
unauthorized entry to your vehicle. It will
be triggered if any door, the luggage
compartment or the hood is opened
without using the key, remote control or
keyless entry keypad.

The direction indicators will flash and the
horn will sound if unauthorized entry is
attempted while the alarm is armed.

Take all remote controls to an authorized
dealer if there is any potential alarm
problem with your vehicle.

compartment with the remote control
or keyless entry keypad.

•

Switch your vehicle on or start your
vehicle.

•
