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.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed
immediately after
switching the ignition
to the 3 (OFF)
position. The
THEFT
light in the instrument
cluster will flash every
two seconds when the
vehicle is armed.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 4 (ON) position with a
coded keydisarms the vehicle. The
THEFTlight
will illuminate for three seconds and then go out. If
the
THEFTlight 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 the
coded 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 a
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 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

REAR SEATS
Use the seatback
release to fold the back
of the front seat
forward for rear seat
passenger entry or exit.
This release handle is
located on the lower
outboard back of the
seat. The seatback
locks automatically when returned to the normal
position.
The rotating boot on the front seat belt is designed
to allow rear seat entry/exit. To enter the rear seat:
1. Remove safety belt
from safety belt guide
on top of front seat.
2. Rotate the safety
belt boot rearward.
3. Enter the rear seat in front of the safety belt.
4. Rotate the safety belt boot forward and place the
belt in the belt guide on the seat back to allow use
by the front driver/passenger.
2nd seat/split-folding rear seat (if equipped)
One or both rear seatbacks can be folded down to
provide additional cargo space.

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:
Energy Management Feature
²This vehicle has a safety belt system with an
energy management feature at the front seating
positions to help further reduce the risk of injury
in the event of a head-on collision.
²This safety 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 safety belt
system at all outboard seating positions
(except driver, which has no ªautomatic locking
retractorº feature) 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 safety belts should be
checked for proper function.
BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST
BE REPLACED if the safety belt assembly
ªautomatic locking retractorº feature or any other
safety belt function is not operating properly when
checked according to the procedures in Workshop
Manual.
Seating and Safety Restraints

Failure to replace the Belt and Retractor
assembly could increase the risk of injury in
collisions.
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 safety belt system can also be made to lock
manually by quickly pulling on the shoulder 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
²Any timea child safety seat is installed in a
passenger front or outboard rear seating position
(if equipped). 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.

How to use the automatic locking mode
²Buckle the
combination lap and
shoulder belt.
²Grasp the shoulder
portion and pull
downward until the
entire belt is
extracted.
²Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you
will hear a clicking sound. This indicates the
safety belt is now in the automatic locking mode.
