2012 FORD FIESTA Owners Manual

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
FCC ID: LXP-RX4318 IC: 2298A-RX4318
The integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) and intelligent access keys
(IA key) comply with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RSS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 66 feet
(20 meters). A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
•weather conditions,
•nearby radio towers,
•structures around the vehicle, or
•other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
The transmitter allows you to:
•remotely unlock the vehicle doors.
•remotely lock all the vehicle doors.
•remotely open the trunk.
•arm and disarm the perimeter anti-theft system.
•operate the illuminated entry feature.
The remote entry lock/unlock feature operates in any ignition position
except when the engine is running and vehicle speed is more than 4 mph
(7 km/h).
If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take
ALL integrated keyhead transmitters or intelligent access keys
with you to the authorized dealer in order to aid in troubleshooting the
problem.
Intelligent Access (if equipped)
Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access
feature at the driver door, passenger front door or at the trunk. You can
activate the intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your
intelligent access keys within range of the driver door, passenger front
door or the trunk.

Activating intelligent access at
the front doors:If your IA key is
within 3 feet (1 meter) of the
driver’s door or passenger front
door, you can activate your
intelligent access system by pressing
the lock button.
To lock/unlock the doors, press the
lock button on the handle.
Pressing the driver’s door lock button while two-stage unlock is enabled
will only unlock the driver’s door. Pressing the button with two-stage
unlock disabled will unlock all doors. The passenger front door lock
button will unlock all doors regardless of two-stage unlock mode. To
disable/enable two-stage unlock, refer toUnlocking the doors/two-stage
unlocklater in this section.
Activating intelligent access at the trunk:If your IA key is within
3 feet (1 meter) of the trunk, you can activate your intelligent access
system by pressing the exterior trunk release button, located above the
license plate. The trunk will release and open.
Refer to theRemote entry systemin this section for more details on
how to use the lock, unlock, panic or trunk buttons on the transmitter.
Your intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to
communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock
when commanded (either by pressing any keyless entry keypad button,
the trunk button, or a button on the transmitter itself). If excessive RF
interference is present in the area, or if your vehicle battery is low, it
may be necessary to mechanically unlock your door. The mechanical key
blade in your IA key can be used to open the driver’s door in this
situation (refer toIntelligent access keyin this chapter for more
information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade).
A mechanical key is needed for access if the IA key battery or vehicle
battery is low.
Push button start:Your vehicle is equipped with a push button start
system, which allows you to start your vehicle without using a key. To
operate the push button start system and start your vehicle, your IA key
must be present inside the vehicle, either in the passenger compartment
or in the trunk. Refer toPush button start systemin theDriving
chapter.

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 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 and programmed by your authorized dealer.
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 off, the
indicator will flash once every two
seconds to indicate the
SecuriLocksystem is functioning
as a theft deterrent.
•When the ignition is on, 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 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.
