SECURILOCK® PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
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.
Automatic Arming
Your vehicle arms immediately after you switch the ignition off.
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 SecuriLock system 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 SecuriLock system, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is on. If this occurs, switch the
ignition off then back on to make sure there was no electronic interference
with the programmed key. If your vehicle does not start, try to start it with
the second programmed key and if successful contact your authorized
dealership for key replacement. If the indicator still flashes rapidly or glows
steadily, your vehicle will not start. Contact your authorized dealer as soon
as possible for service.

Automatic Disarming
Your vehicle disarms when you switch the ignition on with a coded key.
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.
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.
Programming Spare Keys
Note:A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle.
You can program your own coded keys to your vehicle.
You must have two previously programmed coded keys and the new
unprogrammed key readily accessible. See your authorized dealer to have
the spare key programmed if two previously programmed coded keys are
not available.
The process for programming SecuriLock® keys is independent of the
process for programming remote entry transmitters. If your vehicle is
equipped with SecuriLock® and remote entry, you must perform both
learning procedures in order to program both the immobilizer and
remote locking functions of the key fob.
Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert a previously programmed coded key into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least
one second, but no more than 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition off.
