Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 4 (ON) position with acoded keydisarms
the vehicle. The
THEFTlight will illuminate for three seconds and then
go out. If theTHEFTlight stays on for an extended period of time or
flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealership or a
qualified technician.
Key information
Your vehicle is supplied withtwo
coded keys.Only acoded keywill
start your vehicle. Spare coded keys
can be purchased from your
dealership. Your dealership can
program your key or you can ªdo it
yourselfº, refer toProgramming
spare keys.
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 thecoded keymay
cause vehicle starting issues. If
present, you need to keep these
objects from touching thecoded
keywhile starting the engine. These
objects and devices cannot damage
thecoded key,but can cause a
momentary 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 keyis an approved Fordcoded 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 correctcoded keymust be used for your vehicle. The use of the
wrong type ofcoded keymay 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.

The front and rear outboard safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts. The front passenger and rear seat
outboard safety belts have two types of locking modes described below:
Vehicle sensitive mode
The vehicle sensitive mode is the normal retractor mode, allowing free
shoulder belt length adjustment to your movements and locking in
response to vehicle movement. For example, if the driver brakes
suddenly or turns a corner sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of
approximately 8 km/h (5 mph) or more, the combination safety belts will
lock to help reduce forward movement of the driver and passengers.
The front seat belt system can also be made to lock manually by quickly
pulling on the shoulder belt. Rear seat belts (if equipped) cannot be
made to lock up by pulling quickly on the belt.
Automatic locking mode
In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt.
The automatic locking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.
When to use the automatic locking mode
²Anytimea child safety seat is installed in a passenger front or
outboard rear seating position with Regular Cab or SuperCab.
SuperCrew models include the center seating position of the second
row. Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in
the rear seat whenever possible. Refer toSafety Restraints for
ChildrenorSafety Seats for Childrenlater in this chapter.
