    							SECURICODE™ KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
    The keypad, located near the driver’s window, is invisible until touched

    code is located on the owner’s wallet card in the glove box and is
    available from your authorized dealer. You can also create up to three of
    your own 5–digit personal entry codes.
    Note:If your vehicle is equipped with the Intelligent Access feature,
    your keypad will still function normally if you enter your personal entry
    code or factory set code. However, if your transmitter is within range of
    the driver’s door, an Intelligent Access unlock will also occur each time
    you press any number on the keypad. Note that this additional unlock
    will not impact keypad functionality, and you can still enter your code
    and perform all keypad functions (unlock, lock, trunk release).

    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

    							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.
