2004 FORD FREESTAR lock

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
programmedcoded keyinto the
ignition and turn the ignition from 2
(OFF/LOCK) to 3 (RUN) (maintain
ignition in 3 (RUN) for at least
three seconds, but no more than ten
seconds).
2. Turn ignition from 3 (RUN) back
to 2 (OFF/LOCK) in order to
remove the firstcoded keyfrom
the ignition.
3. Within ten seconds of removing the firstcoded key,insert the second
previously programmedcoded keyinto the ignition and turn the ignition
from 2 (OFF/LOCK) to 3 (RUN) (maintain ignition in 3 (RUN) for at
least three seconds but no more than ten seconds).
4. Turn the ignition from 3 (RUN) back to 2 (OFF/LOCK) in order to
remove the secondcoded keyfrom the ignition.
5. Within 10 seconds of removing the secondcoded key,insert the new
unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the
ignition from 2 (OFF/LOCK) to 3 (RUN) (maintain ignition in 3 (RUN)
for at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds). 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

All restraints in the vehicle are combination lap and shoulder belts.
While you are fastened in the seat belt, the combination lap/shoulder belt
adjusts to your movement. However, if you brake hard, turn hard, or if
your vehicle receives an impact of 8 km/h (5 mph) or more, the safety
belt will become locked and help reduce your forward movement.
Energy Management Feature — Outboard
•This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management
feature at the front seats to help further reduce the risk of injury in
the event of a head-on collision.
•This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to
extend the seat belt webbing in a controlled manner. This helps
reduce the belt force acting on the user’s chest.
Failure to inspect and replace if necessary the Belt and
Retractor assembly after an accident could increase the risk of
injury in a collision.
Safety belt height adjustment
Your vehicle has safety belt height
adjustments at the front and second
row seating positions. Adjust the
height of the shoulder belt so the
belt rests across the middle of your
shoulder.
To adjust the shoulder belt height,
squeeze and hold the buttons on the
side and slide the height adjuster up
or down. Release the buttons and
pull down on the height adjuster to
make sure it is locked in place.
Position the safety belt height adjusters so that the belt rests
across the middle of your shoulder. Failure to adjust the safety
belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt and
increase the risk of injury in a collision.
