Ford Five Hundred (2007 year). Manual — part 26

The theft indicator will flash every
two seconds to act as a theft
deterrent when the vehicle is
armed.

Automatic disarming

The vehicle is disarmed immediately after the ignition is turned from the
1 (LOCK) to the 3 (RUN) position.

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 authorized 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 an authorized dealer. The
key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys 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.

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 two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must

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

Keep the ignition in the 3 (RUN) position for at least three seconds, but
no more than 10 seconds.

3. Turn the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position and remove the first coded
key from the ignition.

4. Within ten seconds of turning the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position,
insert the second previously coded key into the ignition.

5. Turn the ignition from the 1 (LOCK) position to the 3 (RUN) position.
Keep the ignition in the 3 (RUN) position for at least three seconds, but
no more than 10 seconds.

6. Turn the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position and remove the second
previously programmed coded key from the ignition.

7. Within twenty seconds of turning the ignition to the 1 (LOCK)
position and removing the previously programmed coded key, insert the
new unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition.

8. Turn the ignition from the 1 (LOCK) position to the 3 (RUN) position.
Keep the ignition in the 3 (RUN) position for at least three seconds but
not more than 10 seconds.

9. Remove the newly programmed coded key from the ignition.

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. Wait
20 seconds and you may repeat Steps 1 through 8. If failure repeats,
bring your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the new key(s)
programmed.

To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), wait twenty seconds
and then repeat this procedure from Step 1.

PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The perimeter anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from
unauthorized entry.

If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensure ALL remote entry transmitters are brought to the authorized
dealer to aid in troubleshooting.

Arming the system

When armed, this system will respond if unauthorized entry is
attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the
turn signal lamps and will sound the horn.

The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Either of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:

• Press the

control on the remote entry transmitter.

When you press the lock control twice within three seconds on your
remote entry transmitter, the horn will chirp once to let you know that
all doors, the hood and the trunk are closed. If any of these are not
closed, the horn will chirp twice to warn you that a door, the hood or the
trunk is still open.
• Press the driver or passenger

interior door lock control while
the door is open, then close the
door.

• Press the 7 • 8 and 9 • 0

controls on the keyless entry pad
at the same time to lock the
doors (driver’s door must be
closed).

There is a 20 second countdown
when any of the above actions occur
before the vehicle becomes armed.

Each door, the hood or the trunk is
armed individually, and if any are
open, they must be closed for the
system to enter the 20 second
countdown.

The turn signal lamps will flash once
when all doors, the hood or the
trunk are closed indicating the vehicle is locked and entering the
20 second countdown.

Disarming the system

You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
• Unlock the doors by using your remote entry transmitter.
• Unlock the doors by using your keyless entry pad.
• Unlock the driver’s door with a key. Turn the key full forward (toward

the front of the vehicle) to make sure the alarm disarms.

• Turn ignition to the 3 (ON) position.
• Press the panic control on the remote entry transmitter. This will only

shut off the horn and parking lamps when the alarm is sounding. The
alarm system will still be armed.

Pressing the power door UNLOCK control within the 20 second
prearmed mode will return the vehicle to a disarmed state.

Triggering the anti-theft system

The armed system will be triggered if:
• Any door, the hood or the trunk is opened without using the door key,

keypad or the remote entry transmitter.
