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.

seconds until you hear the door locks cycle .
9. Remove the newly programmed coded key from the ignition.
The key will start the engine and will operate the remote entry system
(if the new key is an integrated keyhead transmitter) if it has been
successfully programmed.
Wait 20 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8 if programming the key
was not successful. Take your vehicle to an 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.
Programming a Spare Intelligent Access Key (if equipped)
Note:You can program a maximum of four intelligent access keys to
your vehicle. You must take your vehicle and all access keys to an
authorized dealer to have them erased and reprogrammed if you would
like to replace a previously programmed access key with a new access
key, or if 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 an authorized dealer to have the spare key programmed
if two previously programmed keys are not available.
Make sure that the vehicle is off before beginning this procedure. Make
sure to close all the doors before beginning and that they remain closed
throughout the procedure. Perform all steps within 30 seconds of
starting the sequence. Stop and wait for at least one minute before
starting again if you perform any steps out of sequence.
Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

intelligent access key, with the
buttons facing out, in the pocket
inside of the center console.

power door unlock control three
times.
