SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLockpassive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless acoded 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 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 Intelligent
Access Keysfor instructions on how to program the coded key.
Note:The SecuriLockpassive 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.
Anti-theft indicator
The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument panel cluster.
•When the ignition is off, the
indicator will flash once every two
seconds to indicate the
SecuriLocksystem is functioning
as a theft deterrent.
Automatic arming

Replacement Intelligent Access Keys
Note:Your vehicle comes equipped with two Intelligent Access Keys.
The Intelligent Access Key functions as both a programmed key that
operates the driver door lock, activates Intelligent Access with Push
Button Start systems as well as a remote keyless entry transmitter. A
maximum of four Intelligent Access Keys can be programmed to your
vehicle.
If your Intelligent Access Key are lost or stolen and you don’t have an
extra key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized
dealer. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new keys
will need to be programmed.
Replacing Intelligent Access 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 Intelligent Access Keys
You must have two previously programmed Intelligent Access Keys inside
the vehicle and the new unprogrammed Intelligent Access Keys readily
accessible. If two previously programmed keys are not available, you
must take your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare
key(s) programmed.
Note:A maximum of four Intelligent Access Keys can be programmed to
your vehicle. If you would like to replace a previously programmed
access key with a new access key, or if you already have four access keys
programmed to your vehicle, you must take your vehicle and all access
keys to your authorized dealer to be erased and reprogrammed.
Ensure that the vehicle is off before beginning this procedure. Ensure
that all doors are closed before beginning this procedure and that all
doors remain closed throughout the procedure. Perform this procedure
exactly as described below, and perform all steps within 30 seconds of
starting the sequence. If any steps are performed out of sequence, stop
and wait for at least one minute before starting again.
Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Place the new unprogrammed Intelligent Access Key in the pocket

•Press the
control on the transmitter.
When you press the lock control twice within three seconds on your

will chirp twice to warn you that a door, the hood or the liftgate is still
open.
•Press the driver or passenger
power door lock control while the
door is open, then close the door.
•Press and hold the 7•8 and 9•
0 controls on the keyless entry

doors (driver’s door must be
closed).
•Lock the door by turning the key
in the door key cylinder.
There is a 20 second countdown
when any of the above actions occur
before the vehicle becomes armed.
Each door, the hood or the liftgate
is armed individually, and if any are
open, they must be closed for that
entry point to enter the 20 second
countdown.
The turn signal lamps will flash once when all doors, the hood or the
liftgate are closed indicating the vehicle is locked and entering the
