Activating Intelligent Access

General Information

You can unlock and lock the vehicle without
taking the keys out of your pocket or purse
when your intelligent access key is within
3 ft (1 m) of your vehicle. Intelligent access
uses a sensor on the back of the door handle
for unlocking and a separate sensor on the
face of each door handle for locking.

The system does not function if:
•

Your vehicle battery has no charge.

•

The key battery has no charge.

•

The passive key frequencies are jammed.

Note: The system may not function if the key
is close to metal objects or electronic
devices, for example keys or a cell phone.

Note: If the system does not function, use
the key blade to lock and unlock your
vehicle. See Remote Control (page 57).

Unlocking Using Intelligent Access

E248553

With your intelligent access key within 3 ft
(1 m) of your vehicle, touch the unlock sensor
on the back of the door handle for a brief
period and then pull on the door handle to
unlock, being careful to not touch the lock
sensor at the same time or pulling the door
handle too quickly. The intelligent access
system requires a brief delay to authenticate
your intelligent access key fob.

When you electronically lock your vehicle
with any door open, the transmission is in

your vehicle after you close the last door. If
the system finds a key, all of the doors
immediately unlock and a tone sounds,
indicating a key is inside.

and intentionally lock the intelligent access
key inside your vehicle.

To do this, lock your vehicle after you have
closed all the doors by:
•

Using the keyless entry keypad.

keys and remote transmitters out of a
child’s reach. Unsupervised children could
lock themselves in the trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to play in
vehicles.

WARNING: 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.

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
your vehicle. Prevent these objects from
touching the coded key while 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 your vehicle 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
correctly coded key, it is not operating
properly. A message may appear in the
information display.

Automatic Arming

Your vehicle arms immediately after
switching the ignition off.

Automatic Disarming

Switching the ignition on with a coded key
disarms your vehicle.

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, 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
your vehicle in a safe place to help prevent
any inconveniences. See your authorized
dealer to purchase additional spare or
replacement keys.

Programming a Spare Intelligent Access
Key

Note: You can program a maximum of four
intelligent access keys to your vehicle.

Security

You must have two previously programmed
intelligent access keys inside your vehicle
and the new unprogrammed intelligent
access keys readily accessible. See an
authorized dealer to have the spare key

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

Read and understand the entire procedure
before you begin.
