2012 FORD FIESTA remote start

KEYS
Integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
two integrated keyhead transmitters
(IKTs). The key blade is used to
start the vehicle and unlock/lock the
driver’s door from outside the
vehicle. The transmitter portion
functions as the remote entry
transmitter.
Your IKTs are programmed to your
vehicle; using a non-programmed
key will not permit your vehicle to start. If you lose one or both of your
IKTs, replacements are available through your authorized dealer.
Standard SecuriLockkeys without remote entry transmitter
functionality can also be purchased from your authorized dealer if
desired.
Always carry a spare key with you in case of an emergency.
For more information regarding programming replacement IKTs, refer to
theSecuriLockpassive anti-theft systemsection later in this chapter.
Note:Your vehicle’s IKTs were
issued with a security label that
provides important vehicle key cut
information. It is recommended that
you keep the label in a safe place
for future reference.

two intelligent access keys which
operate the power locks and the
remote entry system. You have to

activate the push button start
system.

removable mechanical key blade
that can be used to unlock the
driver door. To release the
mechanical key blade, press the
release buttons on the edge of the
transmitter and remove the key
blade.
Your IA keys are programmed to
your vehicle. You cannot enter or
start your vehicle with an unprogrammed key. If you lose one or both of
your IA keys, replacements are available from your authorized dealer.
For more information on programming replacement IA keys, refer to the
SecuriLockpassive anti-theft systemsection in this chapter.

were issued with a security tag that
provides important vehicle key cut
information. It is recommended that
you keep the tag in a safe place for
future reference.

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 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.

non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

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.
PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will warn you in the event of an
unauthorized entry to your vehicle.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare taken to the authorized
dealer to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When armed, this system will respond if unauthorized entry is
attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the
park/turn lamps and will sound the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
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.
Triggering the anti-theft system
The armed system will be triggered if any door, trunk or the hood is
opened without using the key or the remote entry transmitter.
