Tachometer: Indicates the engine
speed in revolutions per minute.
Driving with your tachometer
pointer continuously at the top of
the scale may damage the engine.

Indicates engine oil pressure. If the
pointer drops to the red section
when the engine is running, stop
your vehicle as soon as possible,
shut off the engine and check the

Do not continue to operate your
engine as long as the pointer is in the red section. Otherwise, your
engine may be severely damaged.
If the gauge indicates zero or very low oil pressure (needle in the
red section) stop the vehicle and engine as soon as safe to do so
and check the engine oil tank level.
After running, the engine may be hot. Allow the engine to cool
before handling any components.
Voltmeter gauge: Measures the
battery charging voltage. If the
pointer moves above or below the
normal operating range under
normal vehicle operation, have your
vehicle’s electrical system checked.

Your vehicle has an all-door remote entry system.
The all-door remote entry system
allows you to:
•lock or unlock both vehicle doors
without a key.
• arm and disarm the anti-theft
system. For more information on
the anti-theft system, refer to
SecuriLock
Passive Anti-theft
System in this chapter.
• open the luggage compartment
without a key.
• activate the panic alarm.
If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take
ALL remote entry transmitters with you to the dealership in order to
aid in troubleshooting the problem.

The door chime will again sound twice and the park lamps will again
flash twice.
The remote entry system activates the illuminated entry feature. This
feature turns on the interior lamps for 25 seconds or until the ignition is
turned to the 3 (ON) position.
Note: The vehicle doors may be unlocked by using the remote entry
transmitter, however, in the event of a low battery charge, the door can
be manually unlocked and opened by inserting the key into the driver’s
door lock cylinder and turning counter clockwise.
Locking the doors

4. Cycle eight times rapidly (within 10 seconds) between the 1
(OFF/LOCK) and the 3 (ON) position.Note:The eighth turn must end
in the 3 (ON) position.
5. Within 20 seconds press any button on the remote entry transmitter.
Note: If more than 20 seconds have passed you will need to start the
procedure over again.
6. Repeat Step 5 to program each additional remote entry transmitter.
7. Turn the ignition to the 1 (OFF/LOCK) position after you have

SECURILOCK PASSIVE 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 a coded key programmed to your vehicle is 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 keys for 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 on the instrument panel, below the
Boost/Vac gauge.
• When the ignition is in the 3 (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 3 (ON) position. If this
occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service.
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 two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must
take your vehicle to your dealer to have the spare key(s) programmed.
