Smart Unlocks

This feature helps to prevent you from
unintentionally locking your intelligent access
key inside your vehicle’s passenger
compartment or rear cargo area.

When you lock your vehicle using the driver
or passenger power door lock control (with
the door open, vehicle park (P) and ignition
off), after you close the door your vehicle will
search for an intelligent access key in the
passenger compartment. If an intelligent
access key is found inside your vehicle, all of
the doors will immediately unlock and the
horn will sound, indicating that the intelligent
access key is inside.

In order to override the smart unlock feature
and intentionally lock the intelligent access
key inside your vehicle, you can lock your
vehicle after all doors are closed by using the
keyless entry keypad, pressing the lock
button on another intelligent access key or
touching the locking area on the handle with
another intelligent access key in your hand.
See Keyless Entry (page 59).

When you open one of the front doors and

control, all doors will lock then unlock if:
•

The ignition is on.

•

The ignition is off and the transmission is
not in park (P).

The autolock feature will lock all the doors
when:
•

All doors are closed.

•

You open then close any door while the
ignition is on and your vehicle speed is
9 mph (15 km/h) or lower.

•

Your vehicle then attains a speed greater
than 12 mph (20 km/h).

Autounlock Feature (If Enabled)

The autounlock unlocks all the doors when:
•

The ignition is on, all the doors are closed,
and your vehicle has been in motion at a
speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).

•

Your vehicle has then come to a stop and
you switch the ignition off or to accessory.

•

You open the driver door within 10
minutes of switching the ignition off or to
accessory.

code.

Recalling Memory Positions (If
Equipped)

The programmed entry codes recall driver
memory positions as follows:
•

Entry code 1 recalls driver 1 memory
positions.

•

Entry code 2 recalls driver 2 memory
positions.

•

INTERIOR LUGGAGE
COMPARTMENT RELEASE

WARNINGS

Keep vehicle doors and luggage
compartment locked and keep 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.

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

compartment 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

Locks

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.

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 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. The
system is an engine immobilization system. It
will not start without a coded key programmed
to your vehicle. If you use the wrong key, a
message may appear in the information
display.

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, 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
your vehicle in a safe place to help prevent
any inconveniences. Contact 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.

You must have two previously programmed
intelligent access keys inside your vehicle and
the new unprogrammed intelligent access
keys readily accessible. Contact an
authorized dealer to have the spare key
programmed if two previously programmed
keys are not available.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS

E173262

Rotate the end of the control away from you
to increase the speed of the wipers. Rotate
toward you to decrease the speed of the
wipers.

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before
switching on the windshield wipers.

Note: Make sure you switch off the windshield
wipers before entering a car wash.

Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades
if they begin to leave streaks or smears. If that
does not resolve the issue, install new wiper
blades.

Note: Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Always use the windshield
washers before wiping a dry windshield.

AUTOWIPERS

E173262

Adjust the rotary control to increase or
decrease the sensitivity of the rain sensor. On
the lowest sensitivity setting, the wipers turn
on when there is a large amount of moisture
on the windshield. On the highest sensitivity
setting, the wipers turn on when there is a
small amount of moisture on the windshield.

Autowipers uses a rain sensor, located near
the interior mirror. The rain sensor monitors
the amount of moisture on the windshield. It
turns on the wipers and adjusts the wiper
speed by the amount of moisture that the
sensor detects on the windshield. You can
turn this feature on and off in the information
display. See General Information (page
89).

Keep the outside of the windshield clean. The
rain sensor is very sensitive. If the area around
the mirror is dirty, then the wipers may
operate if dirt, mist or insects hit the
windshield.

Note: Fully defrost the windshield before you
switch on the windshield wipers.

Note: Make sure you switch off the windshield
wipers before entering a car wash.

Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades
if they begin to leave streaks or smears. If that
does not resolve the issue, install new wiper
blades.

Note: If you switch autolamps on in
conjunction with autowipers, your low beam
headlamps will turn on automatically when
the rain sensor turns on the windshield wipers
continuously.

69

MKS (CLE) Canada/United States of America, enUSA, First Printing

Wipers and Washers

Note: Wet or winter driving conditions with
ice, snow or salty road mist can cause
inconsistent and unexpected wiping or
smearing.

In these conditions, you can do the following
to help keep your windshield clear:
•

Lower the sensitivity of the autowipers
to reduce the amount of smearing.

•

Adjust the rotary control to normal or
high-speed wipe.

•

Switch off the autowipers.

WINDSHIELD WASHERS

E173263

Press the end of the stalk to operate the
washer.
•

A brief press causes a single wipe without
washer fluid.

•

A quick press and hold causes the wipers
to swipe three times with washer fluid.

•

A long press and hold will operate the
wipers and washer fluid for a short time.

A wipe will occur a few seconds after
washing to clear any remaining washer fluid.
This feature can be switched on or off in the
information display. See General
Information (page 89).

Note: Do not operate the washers when the
washer reservoir is empty. This may cause the
washer pump to overheat.
