GAUGES
Base instrument cluster gauges
Optional instrument cluster gauges
Fuel gauge
Displays approximately
how much fuel is in the
fuel tank (when the
key is in the ON
position). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the
vehicle is in motion or after refueling. The ignition
should be in the OFF position while the vehicle is
being refueled. When the gauge first indicates
empty, there is a small amount of reserve fuel in the
tank. When refueling the vehicle from an empty
indication, the amount of fuel that can be added will
be less than the advertised capacity due to the
reserve fuel.

Engine coolant temperature gauge
Indicates the
temperature of the
engine coolant. At
normal operating
temperature, the needle remains within the normal
area (the area between the ªHº and ªCº). If it enters
the red section, the engine is overheating. Stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible, switch off the
engine immediately and let the engine cool. Refer to
Engine coolantin theMaintenance and care
chapter.
Never remove the coolant reservoir cap
while the engine is running or hot.
This gauge indicates the temperature of the engine
coolant, not the coolant level. If the coolant is not at
its proper level the gauge indication will not be
accurate.
Speedometer
Indicates the current vehicle speed.

Trip odometer
Registers the
kilometers (miles) of
individual journeys.
Press and release the
reset button until a ªTº
appears in the display
(this represents the
trip mode). Press and
hold the button for
three seconds to reset.
Battery voltage gauge
This shows the battery
voltage when the
ignition is in the ON
position. If the pointer
moves and stays outside the normal operating range
(as indicated by arrows), have the vehicle's electrical
system checked as soon as possible.
Engine oil pressure gauge
This shows the engine
oil pressure in the
system. Sufficient
pressure exists as long
as the needle remains in the normal range (the area
between the ªLº and ªHº).
If the gauge indicates low pressure, stop the vehicle
as soon as safely possible and switch off the engine
immediately. Check the oil level. Add oil if needed
(refer toEngine oilin theMaintenance and care
chapter). If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle
checked at your dealership or by a qualified
technician.

Replacing the batteries
The transmitter is powered by two coin type
three-volt lithium batteries. Typical operating range
will allow you to be up to 10 meters (33 feet) away
from your vehicle. A decrease in operating range can
be caused by:
²weather conditions
²nearby radio towers
²structures around the vehicle
²other vehicles parked next to the vehicle
To replace the
batteries:
1. Twist a thin coin
between the two halves
of the transmitter near
the key ring. DO NOT
TAKE THE FRONT
PART OF THE
TRANSMITTER
APART.
2. Place the positive
(+) side of new batteries down. Refer to the diagram
inside the transmitter unit.
3. Snap the two halves back together.
Replacement of the battery willnotcause the
remote transmitter to become deprogrammed from
your vehicle. The remote transmitter should operate
normally after battery replacement.
SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is an engine
immobilization system. This system prevents the
engine from being started unless acoded key
programmed to your vehicleis used.
The SecuriLockypassive anti-theft 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.

touching thecoded keyignition key while starting
the engine. These objects and devices cannot damage
thecoded keyignition key, but can cause a
NOÐSTART condition 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 thecoded keyignition key is an
approved Fordcoded keyignition key.
If your keys are lost or
stolen you will need to
do the following:
²
Use your spare key
to start the vehicle. or
²Have your vehicle towed to a dealership or
locksmith. The key codes will need to be erased
from your vehicle and new key codes will need to
be re-coded.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you
may want to store an extra programmed key away
from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent an
unforeseen inconvenience.
The correctcoded keykey must be used for your
vehicle. The use of the wrong type ofcoded key
key may lead to a ªNO-STARTº condition.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition
it will cause a ªNO STARTº condition.
Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your
vehicle. Only SecuriLockykeys can be used. To
program acoded keyyourself, you will need two
previously programmedcoded keys(keys that
already operate your vehicle's engine) and the new
unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible for timely
implementation of each step in the procedure.
If two previously programmed coded keys are not
available, you must bring your vehicle to your
dealership to have the spare coded key(s)
programmed.

Please read and understand the entire procedure
before you begin.
1. Insert the first
previously programmed
coded keyinto the
ignition and turn the
ignition from 3 (OFF)
to 4 (ON) (maintain
ignition in 4 (ON) for
at least one second).
2. Turn ignition to 3 (OFF) then 2 (LOCK) and
remove the firstcoded keyfrom the ignition.
3. Within ten seconds of removing the firstcoded
key,insert the second previously programmed
coded keyinto the ignition and turn the ignition
from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4
(ON) for at least one second but no more than ten
seconds).
4. Turn the ignition to 3 (OFF) then 2 (LOCK) and
remove the secondcoded keyfrom the ignition.
5. Within 20 seconds of removing the secondcoded
key,insert the new unprogrammed key (new
key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the ignition
from 3 (OFF) to 4 (ON) (maintain ignition in 4
(ON) for at least one second). This step will
program your new key to a coded key.
6. To program additional new unprogrammed key(s),
repeat this procedure from step 1.
If successful, the new coded key(s) will start the
vehicle's engine and the theft indicator will
illuminate for three seconds and then go out.
If not successful, the new coded key(s) will not start
the vehicle's engine and the theft indicator will flash
on and off and you may repeat steps 1 through 6. If
failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealership
to have the new spare key(s) programmed.
