Ford Ranger (2011 year). Manual — part 13

KEYS

The key operates all locks on your vehicle. You should always carry a
second key with you in a safe place in case you require it in an
emergency.

If your vehicle is equipped with the SecuriLock

威 passive anti-theft

system, your keys are coded to your vehicle; using a non-coded key will
not permit your vehicle to start. If you lose your dealer supplied keys,
replacement keys are available through your authorized dealer.

POWER DOOR LOCKS (IF EQUIPPED)

Press the control to unlock or lock
all the doors.

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.

The typical operating range for your remote entry transmitter is
approximately 33 feet (10 meters). A decrease in operating range could
be caused by:
• weather conditions,
• nearby radio towers,
• structures around the vehicle, or
• other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.

Replacing the battery

The remote entry transmitter uses one coin type three-volt lithium
battery CR2032 or equivalent.

To replace the battery:

1. Twist a thin coin between the two
halves of the remote entry
transmitter near the key ring. DO
NOT TAKE THE RUBBER COVER
AND CIRCUIT BOARD OFF THE
FRONT HOUSING OF THE
REMOTE ENTRY TRANSMITTER.

2. Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals on the back
surface of the circuit board.

3. Remove the old battery.

Note: Please refer to local
regulations when disposing of
transmitter batteries.

4. Insert the new battery. Refer to
the diagram inside the remote entry
transmitter for the correct
orientation of the battery. Press the battery down to ensure that the
battery is fully seated in the battery housing cavity.

5. Snap the two halves back together.

Note: Replacement of the battery will not cause the remote transmitter
to become deprogrammed from your vehicle. The remote transmitter
should operate normally after battery replacement.

Replacing lost remote entry transmitters

If you would like to have your remote entry transmitter reprogrammed
because you lost one, or would like to buy additional remote entry
transmitters, you can either reprogram them yourself, or take all
remote entry transmitters to your authorized dealer for
reprogramming.
