WARNING:When possible, all children 12 years old and under
should be properly restrained in a rear seating position. Failure
to follow this could seriously increase the risk of injury or death.
WARNING:Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn a
small child. Check seat covers and buckles before you place a child
anywhere near them.
WARNING:Front and rear seat occupants, including pregnant
women, should wear safety belts for optimum protection in an
accident.

seating position and is not equipped with safety belts. The
LATCH anchors were not designed to be used with a child seat in the
center position and there is no tether anchor available at the center.
Attempted use of the center as a seating position will increase the risk
of injury or death in the event of a crash.

occupants of the vehicle should always properly wear their safety belts,
even when an airbag supplemental restraint system is provided.
The safety belt system consists of:

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
MyKey® allows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to
promote good driving habits. All but one of the keys programmed to the
vehicle can be activated with these restricted modes. Any keys that have
not been programmed are referred to as an administrator key or admin
key which can be used to:
•create a restricted key
•program optional MyKey settings
•clear all MyKey features altogether.
Once a key has been programmed, you can access the following
information using the information display control:
•How many admin keys and MyKeys are programmed to the vehicle.
•The total distance the vehicle has been driven with a MyKey.
For vehicles equipped with intelligent access (push button start), when
both a MyKey and an admin intelligent access key (fob) are present, the
admin fob will be recognized by the vehicle to start the engine.
Standard Settings
These settings cannot be changed.
•Belt-Minder. This cannot be disabled and the five-minute timer does
not expire. The audio system is muted when this feature is activated.
•Early low fuel.
•When the fuel gauge reads approximately 3/32nd tank, or your
estimated travel distance is 62 miles (100 kilometers) until the
tank is empty, whichever comes first.
•The fuel indicator lamp illuminates in yellow and the information
display shows a low fuel message.
•When the fuel tank gauge reads “E,” another set of warnings occur:
the information display shows a red warning light and the words
“Low Fuel” in red.
•Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on:
parking aid, blind spot information system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert and the collision warning system.

7. After three seconds but within 20 seconds of turning the ignition off
and removing the previously programmed coded key, insert the new
unprogrammed key into the ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least six
seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed coded key from the ignition.
The key will start the vehicle’s engine and will operate the remote entry
system (if the new key is an integrated keyhead transmitter) if it has
been successfully programmed. The theft indicator light will illuminate
for three seconds and then go out to indicate successful programming.
If the key was not successfully programmed, the theft indicator light may
flash on and off. Wait 20 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8. Take
your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the new key programmed
if you are still unsuccessful.
Wait 20 seconds and then repeat this procedure from Step 1 to program
an additional key.
ANTI–THEFT ALARM (IF EQUIPPED)
The active anti-theft system is designed to warn you in the event of
unauthorized vehicle entry and is also designed to help prevent
unwanted towing of the vehicle.
You can choose what is monitored by arming the system in different
ways.
Partial Monitor Mode
To monitor the following:
•Doors
•Hood
•Trunk
Lock the vehicle using the key in the driver door key cylinder.

Full Monitor Mode
To monitor the following:
•Doors
•Hood
•Trunk
•Movement inside the vehicle (for convertible models, top must be fully
closed)
•Change in vehicle inclination (such as unwanted towing)
Lock the vehicle using the remote control or the power door lock control
with the accompanying door open and then close all doors.
Note:Do not choose full monitor mode if movement within the vehicle is
likely to occur or when the vehicle is in transport.
Note:For proper operation of the interior motion detection system,
ensure all windows are closed prior to arming the system. This will help
prevent accidental alarm activation due to external influences and ensure
proper interior motion detection. Additionally, the interior motion
sensing system will not arm if either door or the trunk is ajar.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensure all integrated keyhead transmitters are brought to the authorized
dealer to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the System
When armed, the active anti-theft system is designed to notify you of an
unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry or towing occurs, the
system will flash the turn signal lamps and interior lamps and will sound
the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is out of the ignition. Any
of the following actions will arm the alarm system:
•Press the lock button on the remote control.
•Lock all doors using the interior power lock switch while the driver or
passenger door is open and then becomes closed.
•Lock the driver door with the key in the key lock cylinder (this will
not, however, arm the interior motion or vehicle incline sensing
systems).
There is a 20 second countdown when any of the above actions occur
before the vehicle becomes armed.
Security73
2014 05+ Mustang(197)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing, November 2012
USA(fus)

Each door, the hood or the trunk is armed individually, and if any are
open, they must be closed for the system to enter the 20 second
countdown.
The turn signal lamps will flash once when all doors, the hood and the
trunk are closed indicating the vehicle is locked and entering the
20 second countdown. If any closure is not properly closed, the turn
signal lamps will not flash and that closure will not be armed.
Disarming the System
You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
•Unlock the doors by using the remote entry transmitter portion of
your integrated keyhead transmitter.
•Turn ignition to the on position with a valid programmed SecuriLock
key or integrated keyhead transmitter.
•Press the panic control on the remote entry transmitter portion of
your integrated keyhead transmitter. This will only shut off the horn
and turn lamps when the alarm is sounding. The alarm system will still
be armed.
•Use a key in the driver door to unlock your vehicle.
Pressing the power door unlock control within the 20 second prearmed
mode will return the vehicle to a disarmed state.
Note:Unlocking the trunk inhibits the motion sensing system but the
system continues to monitor the doors, hood and vehicle incline. Once
the trunk becomes closed the motion sensing system will rearm.
Triggering the Anti-Theft System
The armed system will be triggered if:
•Any door, the hood or the trunk is opened without using the remote
entry transmitter portion of your integrated keyhead transmitter or
key in driver door cylinder.
•The ignition is turned to the on position with an invalid
unprogrammed SecuriLock key or integrated keyhead transmitter.
•The vehicle is towed or inclined.
•Motion is detected in the interior passenger compartment.
