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 problems
if they are too close to the key when
starting your vehicle. Prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while
starting your vehicle. 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.
