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. The
system is an engine immobilization system. It
will not start without a coded key programmed
to your vehicle. If you use the wrong key, a
message may appear in the information
display. SecuriLock
The system helps prevent your vehicle 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, it is not operating
properly. A message may appear in the
information display.
Automatic Arming
Your vehicle arms immediately after
switching the ignition off.
Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a coded key
disarms your vehicle.
Replacement Keys
Note:
Your vehicle comes equipped with two
intelligent access keys.
The intelligent access key functions as a
programmed key that operates the driver
door lock and activates the intelligent access
with push button start system, as well as a
remote control. If your programmed transmitters 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. You need to erase
the key codes from your vehicle and program
new coded keys.
Store an extra programmed key away from
your vehicle in a safe place to help prevent
any inconveniences. Contact your authorized
dealer to purchase additional spare or
replacement keys.
Programming a Spare Intelligent Access
Key
Note:
You can program a maximum of four
intelligent access keys to your vehicle.
You must have two previously programmed
intelligent access keys inside your vehicle and
the new unprogrammed intelligent access
keys readily accessible. Contact an
authorized dealer to have the spare key
programmed if two previously programmed
keys are not available.

WINDSHIELD WIPERS
Rotate the end of the control away from you
to increase the speed of the wipers. Rotate
toward you to decrease the speed of the
wipers.
Note:
Fully defrost the windshield before
switching on the windshield wipers.
Note: Make sure you switch off the windshield
wipers before entering a car wash.
Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades
if they begin to leave streaks or smears. If that
does not resolve the issue, install new wiper
blades. Note:
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windshield. This may scratch the glass,
damage the wiper blades or cause the wiper
motor to burn out. Always use the windshield
washers before wiping a dry windshield.
AUTOWIPERS (If Equipped) Adjust the rotary control to increase or
decrease the sensitivity of the rain sensor. On
the lowest sensitivity setting, the wipers turn
on when there is a large amount of moisture
on the windshield. On the highest sensitivity
setting, the wipers turn on when there is a
small amount of moisture on the windshield.Autowipers uses a rain sensor, located near
the interior mirror. The rain sensor monitors
the amount of moisture on the windshield. It
turns on the wipers and adjusts the wiper
speed by the amount of moisture that the
sensor detects on the windshield. You can
turn this feature on and off in the information
display. See General Information (page
88).
Keep the outside of the windshield clean. The
rain sensor is very sensitive. If the area around
the mirror is dirty, then the wipers may
operate if dirt, mist or insects hit the
windshield.
Note: Fully defrost the windshield before you
switch on the windshield wipers.
Note: Make sure you switch off the windshield
wipers before entering a car wash.
Note: Clean the windshield and wiper blades
if they begin to leave streaks or smears. If that
does not resolve the issue, install new wiper
blades.
Note: If you switch autolamps on in
conjunction with autowipers, your low beam
headlamps will turn on automatically when
the rain sensor turns on the windshield wipers
continuously.
