PHONE COMPATIBILITY
While yourBluetoothsystem supports a variety of features, many are
dependent upon the functionality of your cellular phone withBluetooth
wireless technology. If there is an incompatibility, the performance of
your system may be significantly degraded.
To see if your phone is compatible with your Bluetooth system,
please visit the www.fordvehicles.com/transitconnect website and click on
“Check Bluetooth Compatibility”.
Getting started
Pairing (bonding) your phone
The first thing you must do to use the system is to pair (bond) your
Bluetoothenabled cellular phone with your vehicle’sBluetoothsystem.
This process allows your phone to communicate with the hands-free
system and ensures that other phones cannot inadvertently do so. You
may pair/bond up to six phones with yourBluetoothsystem.
To pair/connect your phone:
1. Ensure that yourBluetoothenabled cellular phone and audio system
are on and your vehicle is in Park (P).
2. Press MENU repeatedly until ADV MENU appears in the display.
3. Press and hold MENU to enter into the Advanced menu selections.
4. Press MENU repeatedly until BT ON/OFF appears in the display. If the
feature is set to OFF, press > so BT ON appears in the display.
5. Ensure that your phone is not in privacy mode. Then, follow the
instructions in your cellular phone’s user guide to put your phone into
Bluetoothdiscovery mode.
6. Select FORD AUDIO when it appears in your phone’s display.
7. Enter the code number shown on the vehicle display using the phone
keypad. If no code number is shown on the display, enter the Bluetooth
PIN number 0000 or any number using the phone keypad. Now enter the
Bluetooth PIN number shown on the vehicle display.
The phone you have just paired/bonded is now considered the ’active’
phone. When the vehicle ignition is turned on, theBluetoothsystem will
automatically begin so search for paired phones, and will attempt to
re-connect to the phone last paired/bonded with the system. If this
phone is not available, the system will then automatically search for the
next most recently connected phone.
To pair/bond subsequent phones to the system,simply follow the
previous procedure.

SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
SecuriLockpassive 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 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 cluster.
•When the ignition is in the off
position, the indicator will flash
briefly to indicate the
SecuriLocksystem is functioning
as a theft deterrent. The indicator
light will stop flashing after approximately 10 seconds.
•When the ignition is in the on position, the indicator will glow for
three seconds, then turn off, to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLocksystem, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the on position. If this
occurs, turn the ignition off then back to on to make sure there was no
electronic interference with the programmed key. If the vehicle doesn’t
start, try to start it with the 2nd programmed key and if successful

contact your authorized dealership for key replacement. If the indicator
still flashes rapidly or glows steadily, and the vehicle will not start,
contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off
position.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the on position with acoded keydisarms the
vehicle.
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 an authorized dealer. 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.
The process for programming SecuriLockkeys is independent of the
process for programming remote entry transmitters. If your vehicle is
equipped with SecuriLockand remote entry, you must perform both
learning procedures in order to program both the immobilizer and
remote locking functions of the key fob.
Tips:
•A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.
•Only use SecuriLockkeys.
•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 authorized dealer to have the spare key(s)
programmed.
