Replacing lost transmitters
Take all your vehicle's transmitters
to your dealer if service is required.
If a remote transmitter has been lost
and you would like to remove it
from the vehicle's memory, or you
would like to purchase additional
remote transmitters and have them
programmed to your vehicle:
²Takeallyour vehicle's
transmitters to your dealer for
programming, or
²Perform the following programming procedure yourself:
Place the key in the ignition and
turn from 2 (LOCK) to 3 (OFF) and
cycle between 3 (OFF) and 4 (ON)
four times in rapid succession within
3 seconds. After doors lock/unlock,
press any control on all transmitters
(up to four). When completed, turn
the ignition to 3 (OFF).
All transmittersmustbe
programmed at the same time.
²When completed, turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF) position and wait at

²Alltransmittersmustbe programmed during the same programming
cycle. A transmitter that is not programmed within the same

transmitters again, as you cannot just ªaddº a transmitter.

SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to prevent 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.
THEFT INDICATOR
The theft indicator is the flashing red indicator located on the dash
panel.
²When the ignition is in the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position, the indicator will
flash once every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLockysystem is
functioning as a theft deterrent.
²When the ignition is in the 3 (ON) position, the indicator will glow for
3 seconds to indicate normal system functionality.

If a problem occurs with the SecuriLockysystem, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the 3 (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) or 2 (LOCK) position. The
indicator on the instrument panel
will flash every two seconds when
the vehicle is armed.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 4 (ON) position with acoded keydisarms
the vehicle. The indicator on the instrument will illuminate for three
seconds and then go out. If the indicator 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(or three, if your vehicle
is equipped with the valet feature). 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 yourself.º Refer to
Programming spare keys.
The following items may prevent the vehicle from starting:
²Large metallic objects
²Electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase
gasoline or similar items
²A second key on the same key ring as thecoded key

If any of these items are 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 ªno
startº 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 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 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.
