SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system prevents the engine from being started unless a
coded keyis 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.

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. 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 issues. 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
issue 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.
If your keys are lost or stolen you
will need to do the following:
²Use 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 correct PATS key must be used for your vehicle. The use of the
wrong type of PATS key may lead to a ªNO-STARTº condition. Refer to
the Rotunda Key Application Matrix for the correct PATS key type for
your particular vehicle make and model year. If a key Application Matrix
is not available, call 1±800±ROTUNDA (1±800±768±8632) (press 2) to
order a Key Application Matrix.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a
ªNO STARTºcondition.

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 (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.
Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously
programmedcoded keyinto the
ignition and turn the ignition from 2
(ACC) to 3 (ON) (maintain ignition
in 3 (ON) for at least one second).
2. Turn ignition to 1 (LOCK) and
remove the firstcoded keyfrom
the ignition.
3. Within ten seconds of turning the
ignition to 2 (ACC), insert the
second previously programmedcoded keyinto the ignition and turn the
ignition from 2 (ACC) to 3 (ON) (maintain ignition in 3 (ON) for at least
one second but no more than ten seconds).
4. Turn the ignition to 1 (LOCK) and remove the secondcoded key
from the ignition.
5. Within 20 seconds of turning the ignition to 2 (ACC), insert the new
unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the
ignition from 2 (ACC) to 3 (ON) (maintain ignition in 3 (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. If failure repeats, bring your
vehicle to your dealership to have the new spare key(s) programmed.

Seating and safety restraints

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to
ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and
safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a
safety belt properly.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a safety belt.
Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt
assembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that
are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt on the
outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm.
2) Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the inside
shoulder. 3) Never use a single belt for more than one person.
Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back
seat and always properly use appropriate child restraints.
Energy Management Feature
The front outboard and rear safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts. The front passenger and rear seat
safety belts have two types of locking modes.
²This vehicle has a seat belt system with an energy management
feature at the front outboard seating positions to help further reduce
the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.
²This seat belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to pay
out webbing in a controlled manner. This feature is designed to help
reduce the belt force acting on the occupant's chest.
After any vehicle collision, the seat belt system at all passenger
seating positions must be checked by a qualified technician to
verify that the ªautomatic locking retractorº feature for child seats is
still functioning properly. In addition, all seat belts should be checked
for proper function.
