SECURILOCKPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM SecuriLockpassive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless acoded Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) or Intelligent Access Keys programmed to your vehicleis used. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition. Your vehicle comes with two coded Integrated Keyhead Transmitters or Intelligent Access Keys; additional coded transmitters may be purchased from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer can program your spare transmitters to your vehicle or you can program then yourself. Refer toProgramming spare Integrated Keyhead Transmitters or Programming Spare Intelligent Access Keysfor instructions on how to program the coded key. For Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT), the Standard SecuriLock keys without remote entry transmitter functionality can also be purchased from your authorized dealer if desired. Note:The SecuriLockpassive anti-theft 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:Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the Locks and Security 129 2010 Taurus(500) Owners Guide(own2002), 1st Printing USA(fus)
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine. Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle. Anti-theft indicator The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument panel cluster. •When the ignition is off, the indicator will flash once every two seconds to indicate the SecuriLocksystem is functioning as a theft deterrent. •When the ignition is on, the indicator will glow for three seconds to indicate normal system functionality (IKT equipped vehicles only). If a problem occurs with the SecuriLocksystem, the indicator will flash rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the on position. If this occurs, turn the ignition off then back to on to make sure there was no electronic interference with the programmed key. If the vehicle doesn’t start, try to start it with the 2nd programmed key and if successful contact your authorized dealership for key replacement. If the indicator still flashes rapidly or glows steadily, the vehicle will not start, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service (IKT equipped vehicles only). Automatic arming The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off position. The theft indicator will flash every two seconds to act as a theft deterrent when the vehicle is armed. Automatic disarming The vehicle is disarmed immediately after the ignition is turned on. If equipped with IKTs, the theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
