108 [FV03583(M )05/95]Coded Key Anti-Theft System
(If equipped)
[FV03584(M )10/95]
If your vehicle is equipped with the coded key
anti-theft system, you can only use an
electronically coded key to start the vehicle.
During each vehicle start sequence, the coded
key is read by the anti-theft system. If the key's
ID code matches that in the anti-theft system,
the vehicle is enabled to start. If the key's ID
code does not match the anti-theft system, or if
no coded key is detected, then the vehicle is not
able to start. Your vehicle was equipped with
two electronically coded keys. The coded
ignition key is larger than normal due to the
electronics located in the head of the key.
Additional spare keys, maximum of 14, can be
purchased either through your dealership or
selected retailers. Be sure to purchase only coded
keys with a Ford or Mercury logo on it to
ensure proper functionality. If both supplied
keys are lost or stolen, the vehicle must be
brought to the dealership for re-initialization.
(All keys must be brought to the dealer, if any.)
