Smart Unlocks for Integrated Keyhead Transmitter
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of your
vehicle if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle with the
power door lock control, all the doors will lock then unlock if your key is
still in the ignition.
You can still lock your vehicle with the key in the ignition by pressing
the lock button on the transmitter even if the doors are not closed.
If both front doors are closed, you can lock your vehicle by any method,
regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys (If Equipped)
This feature helps to prevent you from unintentionally locking your
intelligent access key inside your vehicle’s passenger compartment or
rear cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle using the power door lock control (with the
door open, vehicle in park and ignition off), your vehicle will search for
an intelligent access key in the passenger compartment after you close
the door. If your vehicle finds a key, all of the doors will immediately
unlock.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
intelligent access key inside your vehicle, you can lock your vehicle after
all doors are closed by pressing the lock button on another intelligent
access key or touching the locking area on the handle with another
intelligent access key in your hand.
When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle using the
power door lock control, all doors will lock then unlock if the ignition
is on.

The autolock feature will lock all the doors when:
•all doors are closed,
•the ignition is on,
•you shift into any gear putting your vehicle in motion, and
•your vehicle attains a speed greater than 4 mph (7 km/h).

and keep keys and remote transmitters out of a child’s reach.
Unsupervised children could lock themselves in the trunk and risk
injury. Children should be taught not to play in vehicles.

SECURILOCK® PASSIVE 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 your vehicle. 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 your
vehicle if a problem occurs.
Note:Do not leave a duplicate coded key in your vehicle. Always take
your keys and lock all doors when leaving your vehicle.
The system helps prevent the engine from starting unless you use a coded
key programmed to your vehicle. Using the wrong key may prevent your
vehicle from starting. A message may appear in the information display.
If you are unable to start your vehicle with a correctly coded key, a
malfunction has occurred. A message may appear in the information
display.
Automatic Arming
Your vehicle arms immediately after you switch the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Your vehicle disarms when you switch the ignition on with a coded key.
Replacement Keys
Note:Your vehicle comes 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 SecuriLock coded keys
(integrated keyhead transmitters only) are lost or stolen and you do not
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.
