If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock
娂
system, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the ON position. If this
occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service.
Key information
Your vehicle is supplied with
two coded keys (or three keys, if the
valet feature is available).
Only a
coded key
will start your vehicle.
Spare coded keys may be purchased from an authorized Ford dealer. An
authorized Ford dealer can also program your
coded key,
or you can do
it yourself. Refer to
Programming spare keys.
The following items may prevent the vehicle from starting:
•
Large metallic objects.
•
Electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase
gasoline or similar items.
•
A second key on the same key ring as the
coded key.
If any of these items are present, you need to prevent these objects from
touching the
coded key
while starting the engine. These objects cannot
damage the
coded key,
but may cause a momentary “no start” condition
if they are too close to the key when starting the engine. If a problem
occurs, turn the ignition to the OFF position and restart the engine with
all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key. Check
to make sure the
coded key
is an approved Ford
coded key.
If your keys are lost or stolen, you will need to do the following:
•
Use your spare key to start the vehicle, or
•
Have your vehicle towed to an authorized Ford dealer or a locksmith.
The key codes will need to be erased from your vehicle and new
codes will need to be re-coded.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you may want to store an
extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent
an unforeseen inconvenience.
The correct
coded key
must be used for your vehicle. The use of the
wrong
coded key
may lead to a “no start” condition.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition, it will cause a
“no start” condition.
Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only
SecuriLock
娂
keys can be used. To program a
coded key
yourself, you
