your own 5–digit personal entry codes.
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with the Intelligent Access feature,
your keypad will still function normally if you enter your personal entry
code or factory set code. However, if your transmitter is within range of
the driver’s door, a passive entry unlock will also occur each time you
press any number on the keypad. Note that this additional unlock will
not impact keypad functionality, and you can still enter your code and
perform all keypad functions (unlock, lock, trunk release).

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 acoded Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) or
Intelligent Access Keys 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 Integrated Keyhead Transmitters or
Intelligent Access Keys; additional coded transmitters may be purchased
from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer can program your
spare transmitters to your vehicle or you can program then yourself.
Refer toProgramming spare Integrated Keyhead Transmitters or
Programming Spare Intelligent Access Keysfor instructions on how to
program the coded key.
For Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT), the Standard SecuriLock™
keys without remote entry transmitter functionality can also be
purchased from your authorized dealer if desired.
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.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always
take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
