Ford Fusion Hybrid / Fusion Energi (2018 year). Manual — part 16

WARNINGS

Do not leave children or animals
unattended in the vehicle. On hot
days, the temperature in the trunk or

vehicle interior can rise very quickly.
Exposure of people or animals to these
high temperatures for even a short time
can cause death or serious heat-related
injuries, including brain damage. Small
children are particularly at risk.

Your vehicle is equipped with a release
handle that provides a means of escape
for children and adults if they become
locked inside the luggage compartment.

Adults should familiarize themselves with
the operation and location of the release
handle.

E144403

The handle is located inside the luggage
compartment either on the luggage
compartment door (lid) or near the tail
lamps. It is composed of a material that
will glow for hours in darkness following
brief exposure to ambient light.

Pull the handle and push up on the luggage
compartment door (lid) to open from
within the luggage compartment.

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM

Note: The system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems.
Use of these systems may result in engine
starting problems and a loss of security
protection.

Note: Metallic objects, electronic devices
or a second coded key on the same key
chain may result in vehicle starting
problems, especially if they are too close to
the key when starting your vehicle. Prevent
these objects from touching the coded key
when starting your vehicle. Switch the
ignition off, move all objects on the key
chain away from the coded key and restart
your vehicle if a problem occurs.

Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in your vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.

SecuriLock®

The system helps prevent the engine from
starting unless you use a coded key
programmed to your vehicle. Using the
wrong key may prevent your vehicle from
starting. A message may appear in the
information display.

If you are unable to start your vehicle with
a coded key, it is not operating correctly.
A message may appear in the information
display.

Automatic Arming

The system arms when you switch the
ignition off.

Automatic Disarming

The system disarms when you switch the
ignition on with a coded key.

Replacement Keys

Note: Your vehicle comes with two keys.

The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and turns on 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 a spare intelligent access key away
from your vehicle in a safe place. You can
purchase replacement keys or remote
controls from an 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.

Remove the key blade from the
transmitter.

seconds and repeat steps 1 through 7. If it
still does not work, take your vehicle to an
authorized dealer.

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.

Arming the Alarm

The alarm is ready to arm when there is
not a key in your vehicle. Electronically lock
your vehicle to arm the alarm.

Disarming the Alarm

Disarm the alarm by any of the following
actions:

•

Unlock the doors or luggage
compartment with the remote control
or keyless entry keypad.

•

Switch your vehicle on or start your
vehicle.

•

Use a key in the driver door to unlock
