POWER DOOR LOCKS
The power door lock control is
located on the instrument panel
near the radio.
Press the control to lock/unlock the
doors. When the light on the button
is on it indicates that all doors and
the trunk are locked. When the light
is off it indicates one or more doors
are unlocked.
Rear door unlocking/opening
Pull the interior door release handle twice to unlock/open the rear door.
The first pull unlocks the door and the second pull will unlatch the door.
Smart locks
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of the
vehicle.
If the interior power door lock control is pressed while the driver or
front passenger door is open with the key in the ignition, all door locks
will lock, and then unlock.
If both front doors are closed, the vehicle can be locked by any method,
regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Smart locks for intelligent access keys (IA key) (if equipped)
This feature is intended to prevent you from unintentionally locking your
IA key inside your vehicle.
If your vehicle’s perimeter alarm is in the armed state, the smart locks
feature will not allow you to lock your IA key inside the vehicle. When
the alarm is armed, if the IA key is detected in the vehicle, the vehicle
will automatically unlock. The exterior lights will flash and the horn will
chirp twice to indicate the IA key is inside. If your IA key is detected in
the trunk (if equipped), the trunk lid will reopen though there will be no
feedback from the horn or lights.

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.

attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the
park/turn lamps and will sound the horn.

ignition. Either of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
•Press the lock control on the remote entry transmitter.
•Open a door and press the power door lock control to lock all the
doors, and then close the door.
Disarming the system
You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
•Unlock the doors by pressing the
control on your remote entry
transmitter.
•Unlock the doors with a key. Turn the key full travel (toward the front
of the vehicle) to ensure the alarm disarms.
•Turn the ignition to the on or start position with a programmed coded
ignition key.
Pressing the power door unlock control within the 20 second pre-armed
mode will return the vehicle to a disarmed state.

opened without using the key or the remote entry transmitter.

braking systems, amateur radio users who install radios and antennas
onto their vehicle should not locate the Amateur Radio Antennas in
the area of the driver’s side hood.
•Any non-Ford custom electrical or electronic accessories or
components that are added to the vehicle by the authorized dealer or
the owner, may adversely affect battery performance and durability,
and may also adversely affect the performance of other electrical
systems in the vehicle.
