Illuminated entry
The interior lamps illuminate when the remote entry
system is used to unlock the door(s) or sound the
personal alarm.
The illuminated entry system will turn off the
interior lights if:
•the ignition switch is turned to the ON position,
or
•the remote transmitter lock control is pressed, or
•after 25 seconds of illumination.
The dome lamp control (if equipped) mustnotbe
set to the OFF position for the illuminated entry
system to operate.
The inside lights will not turn off if:
•they have been turned on with the dimmer
control, or
•any door is open.
The battery saver will shut off the interior lamps 30
minutes after the ignition has been turned to the
OFF position, 10 minutes after if the last door is left
open, and 30 minutes after if the trunk is left open
or the dome lamp switch is left on.
SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLock
passive anti-theft system is an engine
immobilization system. This system is designed to
prevent the engine from being started unless a
coded key programmed to your vehicleis used.
The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to
a“no-start”condition.
Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional
coded keys may be purchased from your dealer. The
dealer can program your spare keys to your vehicle
or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to
Programming spare keysfor instructions on how
to program the coded key.
Note:The SecuriLock
passive 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.
Note:Large metallic objects, electronic devices that
are used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a
second coded key on the same key chain may cause
vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while starting
the engine. These objects will not cause damage to
the coded key, but may cause a momentary issue if
they are too close to the key when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off,
remove all objects on the key chain away from the
coded key and restart the engine.
Theft indicator
The theft indicator is located in the instrument
cluster.
•When the ignition is in the OFF position, the
indicator will flash once every 2 seconds to
indicate the SecuriLock
system is functioning as
a theft deterrent.
•When the ignition is in the ON position, the
indicator will glow for 3 seconds, then turn off to
indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock
system,
the indicator will flash rapidly or glow steadily when
the ignition is in the ON position. If this occurs, the
vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for
service.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed
immediately after
switching the ignition
to the 3 (OFF)
position.
The
THEFTindicator
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
THEFTindicator will illuminate for three
seconds and then go out.
•If the
THEFTindicator stays on for an extended
period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system
serviced by your dealer.
Replacement keys
If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an
extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle
towed to a dealership. The key codes need to be
erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will
need to be programmed.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an
extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a
safe place to help prevent any inconveniences.
Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.
Programming spare keys
You can program your own coded keys to your
vehicle. Please read and understand the entire
procedure before you begin.
Tips:
•A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your
vehicle.
•Only use Securilock
keys.
•You must have two previously programmed coded
keys (keys that already operate your vehicle’s
engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s)
readily accessible.
•If no previously programmed coded keys are
available, you must take your vehicle to your
dealer to have the spare key(s) programmed.

1. Insert a previously
programmed coded key
into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition
from the 3 (OFF)
position to the 4 (ON)
position. Keep the
ignition in the 4 (ON)
position for at least one second, but no more than
10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF) position, and
remove the coded key from the ignition.
4. Within ten seconds of removing the previously
programmed coded key, insert the other previously
programmed coded key into the ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the
4 (ON) position. Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON)
position for at least one second but not more than
10 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF) position, and
remove the second key from the ignition.
7. Within twenty seconds of removing the previously
programmed coded key, insert the unprogrammed
key (new/valet key) into the ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the
4 (ON) position. Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON)
position for at least one second.
9. Your new unprogrammed key is now programmed.
If the key has been successfully programmed it will
start the vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator light
will illuminate for three seconds and then go out. If
the key was not successfully programmed, it will not
start your vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator
light will flash on and off rapidly. If failure repeats,
bring your vehicle to your dealer to have the new
key(s) programmed.
To program additional new unprogrammed key(s),
repeat this procedure from step 1 for each additional
key.
