GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Licence exempt RSS
Standards of Industry Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
• This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation. WARNING: Changes or
modifications not expressively approved
by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment. The term "IC:" before the
radio certification number only signifies
that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately
33 ft (10 m).
Vehicles with the remote start feature will
have a greater range. One of the following
could cause a decrease in operating range:
• Weather conditions.
• Nearby radio towers.
• Structures around the vehicle.
• Other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle.
Other short distance radio transmissions,
for example amateur radios, medical
equipment, wireless headphones, remote
controls and alarm systems can also use
the radio frequency used by your remote
control. If the frequencies are jammed, you
will not be able to use your remote control.
You can lock and unlock the doors with the
key. Note:
Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally.
Note: The remote control contains sensitive
electrical components. Exposure to moisture
or impact may cause permanent damage.
REMOTE CONTROL - VEHICLES
WITH: KEYLESS ENTRY AND
PUSH BUTTON START The key operates the power locks. The key

Note:
You may not be able to shift out of
park (P) unless the key is inside your vehicle.
Removable Key Blade
The key also contains a removable key
blade that you can use to unlock your
vehicle.

your vehicle. The buttons on the key
operate the remote control function.

Replacing the Battery
Note: Refer to local regulations when
disposing of transmitter batteries.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals or on the back surface of
the circuit board.
Note: Replacing the battery does not erase
the programmed key from your vehicle. The
transmitter should operate normally. A message appears in the information
display when the remote control battery
is low. See Information Messages (page
94).
The remote control uses one coin-type
three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or
equivalent.
Press the button to release the key blade
before beginning the procedure. 1. Insert a suitable tool, for example a
screwdriver, in the position shown and
gently press the clip.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING
Remote Control
You can use the remote control at any
time.
Unlocking the Doors
The position lamps illuminate when you
unlock the doors. When you switch the
ignition on, they automatically turn off.
Note:
You can unlock the driver door with
the key. Use the key when the remote
control is not functioning.
Note: When you leave your vehicle
unattended for several weeks, the remote
control turns off. Your vehicle must be
unlocked and the engine started using the
key. Unlocking and starting your vehicle
once enables the remote control.
One-Stage Unlocking Press the button to unlock all
doors. The direction indicators
will flash.
Two-Stage Unlocking Press the button to unlock the
front doors. Press the button
again within three seconds to
unlock all doors. The direction indicators
will flash.
Reprogramming the Unlocking
Function
When you press the unlock button only the
driver and passenger doors unlock.
Pressing the unlock button again unlocks
all doors.
You can reprogram the unlocking function
so that all doors unlock when you press
the unlock button once.
1. Switch the ignition off. 2. Press and hold both the lock and
unlock buttons on the remote control
until the direction indicators flash twice
to confirm the change.
To return to the original unlocking function,
repeat the process.
Locking the Doors Press the button to lock all
doors. The direction indicators

Press the button again within three
seconds to confirm that all the doors are
closed. The doors will lock again, the horn
will sound and the direction indicators will
flash if all the doors and the liftgate are

Note: If any door or the litigate is open, or
if the hood is open on vehicles with an
anti-theft alarm or remote start, the horn
does not sound.
Locking and Unlocking the Doors

2019 Transit Connect (CHC) Canada/United States of America, CG3739en enUSA, Edition date: 201804, First-Printing Doors and Locks E102566

Note:
If a second valid passive key is
located within the liftgate detection range,
the liftgate can be closed.
Unlocking Your Vehicle Pull a front exterior door handle to unlock
and open the door. Do not touch the lock
sensor on the front of the handle.
One long flash of the direction indicators
confirms that all the doors and the liftgate
have been unlocked and that the alarm
has been disarmed.
Note:
A valid passive key must be located
within the detection range of that door.
Unlocking Only the Driver's Door
You can program the system so that only
the driver door is unlocked. See Locking
and Unlocking (page 63).
If you program the unlocking function so
that only the driver door unlocks, the
following occurs:
• If the driver ’s door is the first door
which is opened, the other doors will
remain locked. All the other doors can
be unlocked from inside your vehicle
by pressing the unlock button located
on the driver's and front passenger's
door. You can unlock individual doors
by pulling the interior door handles on
those doors.
• If the front passenger's door is the first
door which is opened, all the doors and
the liftgate will be unlocked.
Disabled Keys
Any keys left inside your vehicle interior
when it is locked will be disabled. You cannot use a disabled key to switch
the ignition on or start the engine.
You must enable all passive keys again in
order to use them. To enable all your
passive keys, unlock your vehicle using a
passive key that has not been disabled or
the remote control unlocking function. All
passive keys will then be enabled if you
switch the ignition on or you start your
vehicle with a valid key.
Note:
You can still start your vehicle when
the passive key is in the back-up position.
See
Push Button Ignition Switch (page
135).

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 programmed key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting
problems if they are too close to the key
when starting the engine. Prevent these
objects from touching the programmed key
while starting the engine. Switch the ignition
off, move all objects on the key chain away
from the programmed key and restart the
engine if a problem occurs.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate
programmed key in your vehicle. Always
take your keys and lock all doors when
leaving your vehicle.
SecuriLock®
The system is an engine immobilization
system. It is designed to help prevent the
engine from being started unless a
programmed key for your vehicle is used.
Using an incorrectly programmed key may
prevent the engine from starting. A
message may appear in the information
display.
If you are unable to start the engine with a
programmed key, a malfunction has
happened and a message may appear in
the information display.
Automatic Arming
The engine immobilization system arms
immediately after you switch the ignition
off. Automatic Disarming
Switching the ignition on with a
programmed key disarms the engine
immobilization system.
Replacement Keys
If your keys are lost or stolen and you do
not have a spare programmed key, you will
need to have your vehicle towed to an
authorized dealer. You need to erase the
programmed keys from your vehicle and
program new keys.
Store an extra programmed key away from
your vehicle in a safe place to help prevent
any inconveniences. We recommend that
you contact an authorized dealer to
purchase additional spare or replacement
keys.
Note:
Your vehicle comes with two keys.
Programming a Remote Flip Key
The procedure programs both the vehicle
immobilizer keycode and the remote entry
portion of the remote control to your
vehicle.
To program a new key, you require two
programmed keys and one unprogrammed
key with you in your vehicle.
We recommend that you contact an
authorized dealer to have the key
programmed if you do not have two
programmed keys.
Make sure that you complete the
procedure within 30 seconds.
Stop and wait for at least one minute
before you start again if you miss a step.
