SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a coded-key anti-theft system. Only the
correct keywill be able to start your vehicle. If your keys are lost or
stolen, you must take your vehicle to your dealership for key
reprogramming.
This system provides an advanced level of vehicle theft protection. Your
vehicle's engine can only be started with the two coded keys provided
with your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the coded key is
read by the anti-theft system. If the key identification code matches the
code stored in the anti-theft system, the vehicle's engine is allowed to
start. If the key identification code does not match the code stored in
the system or if a coded key is not detected (vehicle theft situation), the
vehicle's engine will not operate.
Controls and features
107

If there is any anti-theft problem with your vehicle, ensureALL coded
keysfor that vehicle are brought to the dealership, to aid in
troubleshooting.
The SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is not compatible with
aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Large metallic
objects, electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase
gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the same key ring as the
PATS ignition key may cause vehicle starting concern and record DTC's
under certain conditions. If present, you need to keep these objects from
touching the PATS ignition key while starting the engine. These objects
and devices cannot damage the PATS ignition key, but can cause a
momentary concern if they are too close to the key during engine start. If
a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF and restart the engine with all other
objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check to make
sure the encoded ignition key is an approved Ford encoded ignition key.
Spare coded keys can be purchased from your dealership and
programmed to your anti-theft system. Refer toProgramming spare
SecuriLockykeysfor more information.
If one or both of your coded keys are lost or stolen and you want to
ensure the lost or stolen key will not operate your vehicle, bring your
vehicle and all available coded keys to your dealership for reinitialization.
Theft indicator
When the ignition is turned to RUN or START, the theft indicator in the
instrument cluster will light for three seconds and then go out (indicates
proper anti-theft system operation). If the key is in the ignition and the
theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly,
have the system serviced by your dealership or a qualified technician.
Programming spare SecuriLockYkeys
Spare coded keys can be purchased from your dealership and
programmed to your anti-theft system (up to a total of eight keys). Your
dealership can program your new coded key(s) to your vehicle or you
can do it yourself using the following simple procedure. To program a
new coded key yourself, you will need two previously programmed coded
keys (keys that already operate your vehicle's engine). If two previously
programmed coded keys are not available (one or both of your original
keys were lost or stolen), you must bring your vehicle to your dealership
to have the spare coded key(s) programmed.

Procedure to program spare SecuriLockYkeys to your vehicle
New SecuriLockykeys must have the correct mechanical key cut for
your vehicle.
Conventional (non-SecuriLocky) keyscannotbe programmed to your
vehicle.
The correct type of SecuriLockykey for your vehicle is identifiable by
the alphanumeric characters stamped on the key blade. The
SecuriLockykey identification for your vehicle is: one letter of the
English alphabet followed by the number ª1º (for example, ªS1º or ªI1º
on the key blade indicate you have the correct type of SecuriLocky
key). If the SecuriLockykey does not have this information stamped on
the key blade, the key will not operate your vehicle.
You will need to have two previously programmed SecuriLockykeys and
the new unprogrammed SecuriLockykey readily accessible for timely
implementation of each step in the procedure. Please read and
understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed SecuriLockykey into the
ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in
RUN for at least one second).
2. Turn ignition to OFF and remove the first SecuriLockykey from the
ignition.
3. Within five seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the second
previously programmed SecuriLockykey into the ignition and turn the
ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at least one
second but no more than five seconds).
4. Turn the ignition to OFF and remove the second SecuriLockykey
from the ignition.
5. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the
unprogrammed SecuriLockykey (new key/valet key) into the ignition
and turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at
least one second). This step will program your new SecuriLockykey.
6. To program additional SecuriLockykey(s), repeat this procedure from
step 1.
If the programming procedure was successful, the new SecuriLocky
key(s) will start the vehicle's engine. The theft indicator (located on the
instrument panel) will light for three seconds and then go out.
Controls and features
109

If the programming procedure was not successful, the new SecuriLocky
key(s) will not operate the vehicle's engine. The theft indicator will flash
on and off. Wait at least one minute and then repeat the procedure from
step 1. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealership to have
the spare SecuriLockykey(s) programmed.
INTERIOR LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT RELEASE (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle is equipped with a mechanical interior luggage compartment
release handle that provides a means of escape for children and adults in
the event they become locked inside the luggage compartment.
Adults are advised to familiarize themselves with the operation and
location of the release handle.
To open the luggage compartment
door (lid) from the inside, pull the
illuminated ªTº shaped handle and
push up on the trunk lid. The
material that the handle is made of
will glow for hours in the darkness
of the luggage compartment
following brief exposure to ambient
light.
The ªTº shaped handle will be
located either on the luggage
compartment door (lid) or inside
the luggage compartment near the
tail lamps.
Keep vehicle doors and
luggage compartment
locked and keep keys out of a
child's reach. Unsupervised
children could lock themselves in
an open trunk and risk injury.
Children should be taught not to
play in vehicles.

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.
