KEYS
One key operates all the locks and starts the vehicle. Always carry a
spare key with you in case of an emergency.
Your keys are programmed to your vehicle; using a non-programmed key
will not permit your vehicle to start. If you lose your authorized dealer
supplied keys, replacement keys are available through your authorized
dealer. Refer to theSecuriLock

Smart locks
This feature attempts to help prevent you from locking yourself out of
the vehicle if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open the driver’s door and you lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all
the doors will lock, then the driver’s door will automatically unlock
reminding you that your key is still in the ignition.
The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the
manual lock control on the door, locking the driver’s door with a key, or
using the lock control on the remote entry transmitter.
If the driver’s door is closed, then the vehicle can be locked from any
method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Power door lock/unlock inhibit feature
As a theft deterrent, the power door lock controls can be disabled 20
seconds after the ignition has been turned to the 1 (LOCK) position and
the vehicle is locked using the remote entry transmitter or the key in the
door lock cylinder. The door lock controls are re-enabled when the
vehicle is unlocked using the key in the door lock cylinder, the keypad,
or by pressing
on the remote entry transmitter. This feature can be
turned on or off using the following procedure:
Before starting, ensure the ignition is in the 1 (LOCK) position and all
vehicle doors are closed. You must complete Steps 1–5 within 30 seconds
or the procedure will have to be repeated.

SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLock
passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless acoded 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 authorized dealer. The authorized dealer can
program your spare keys to your vehicle or you can program the keys
yourself. Refer toProgramming 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.

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. Wait 20
seconds and you may repeat Steps 1 through 8. If failure repeats, bring
your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the new key(s)
programmed.
To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), wait twenty seconds
and then repeat this procedure from Step 1.
PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will help prevent your vehicle from
unauthorized entry.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare brought to the authorized
dealer to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When armed, this system will help protect your vehicle from
unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will
flash the headlamps and/or parking lamps, and will chirp the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
•Press the
control on the
remote entry transmitter.
When you press the lock control
twice within three seconds on your
remote entry transmitter, the horn
will chirp once to let you know that
all doors, the hood and the liftgate
are closed. If any of these are not
closed, the horn will chirp twice to
warn you that a door, the hood or
the liftgate is still open.
