SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Note:The 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:Metallic objects, electronic devices or a second coded key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting issues if they are too close to the key
when starting the engine. Prevent these objects from touching the coded key
while starting the engine. Switch the ignition off, move all objects on the key
chain away from the coded key and restart the engine if a problem occurs.
Note:Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take
your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
The system is an engine immobilization system. It is designed to help
prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to
your vehicle is used. Using the wrong key may prevent the engine from
starting. A message may appear in the information display.
If you are unable to start the engine with a correctly coded key, a
malfunction has happened and a message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a coded key disarms the vehicle.
Replacement Keys
Note:Your vehicle comes equipped with two integrated keyhead
transmitters or two intelligent access keys.
The integrated keyhead transmitter functions as a programmed ignition key
that operates all the locks and starts the vehicle, as well as a remote control.
The intelligent access key functions as a programmed key that operates
the driver door lock and activates the intelligent access with push button
start systems, as well as a remote control.
If your programmed transmitters or standard SecuriLockcoded keys
(integrated keyhead transmitters only) 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.
Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to
help prevent any inconveniences. See your authorized dealer to purchase
additional spare or replacement keys.

you already have four access keys programmed to your vehicle.
You must have two previously programmed intelligent access keys inside
the vehicle and the new unprogrammed intelligent access keys readily
accessible. See your authorized dealer to have the spare key programmed
if two previously programmed keys are not available.

intelligent access key, with the
buttons facing out, in the pocket
inside of the center console.
2. Press the driver or passenger
power door unlock control three
times.
3. Press and release the brake pedal
one time.
4. Press the driver or passenger power door lock control three times.

START/STOP button should begin to rapidly flash, indicating the
programming mode has been entered and two programmed intelligent
access keys have been detected in the vehicle.
6. Press the START/STOP button within one minute. A message will
appear in the information display indicating that the new intelligent
access key was programmed.
7. Remove the intelligent access key from the center console pocket and

ANTI-THEFT ALARM (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will warn you of unauthorized entry to your vehicle.
The turn signal lamps will flash and sound the horn up to a total of 10
times when:
•any door, the hood or the liftgate/trunk is opened without using the
keypad, the remote control or the intelligent access transmitter (if
equipped)
•the ignition is turned on with an invalid key.
Take all keys and remote controls to your authorized dealer if there is
any potential alarm problem with your vehicle.
Arming the Alarm
The system is ready to arm whenever the ignition is off. Lock the vehicle
to arm the alarm.
The turn signal lamps will flash once after locking the vehicle to indicate
the alarm is in the pre-armed mode and will become fully armed in
20 seconds.
Once fully armed, any intelligent access keys (if equipped) found inside
the vehicle are disabled and will not start the engine. Press the unlock
button to re-enable them.
Disarming the Alarm
To disarm the alarm, do any of the following:
•Press the power door unlock button within the 20-second pre-armed
mode.
•Press the unlock button on the remote control.
•Unlock the doors with the keyless entry pad.
•Enter the vehicle using intelligent access (if equipped).
•Turn the ignition on with a valid key (if equipped with IKT only).
•Press the panic button on the remote control. The alarm system will
still be armed, but this shuts off the horn and turn lamps when the
alarm is sounding.
Note:If the driver’s door is unlocked with a key, a chime will sound
when you open the door and a message will appear in the information
display. You will have 12 seconds to disarm the alarm using any of the
actions above, otherwise the alarm will trigger.
