KEYS
Your vehicle is supplied with two
Smartshield ignition keys complete with
integrated remote entry keypads. For all
vehicles the primary key is a ‘fl ip’ key.
The keypad can be used with the fl ip key
in either the closed or the open position.
To open or close the fl ip key, the release
button adjacent to the key blade must
be depressed.
The ignition keys can also be used to
lock/unlock the glove box. In case of
loss, replacement keys and keypads
are available from your Authorised Ford
Dealer. For further information, refer
to “Engine Immobilisation” later in this
section.
The ignition key cut identifi cation number
is recorded on a tag, which is found in
your owner’s pack.
The tag should be stored in a safe place
(not inside the vehicle).
Note:
Your ignition keys have individual
transponders inside them which can
help prevent car theft through engine
immobilisation. To ensure correct
operation of the key transponders
please follow these simple rules:
• Do not keep both the supplied
ignition keys on the same key ring.
• Do not start the vehicle with the two
ignition keys closer together than
15cm.
• Do not put other keys with
transponders on the same key ring.
• Do not cover the key with any
material.
• Do not use electromagnetic
keyrings.
If these rules are not followed you may
fi nd that your engine will not start or may
stop shortly after it starts. Should this
happen, remove keys and ensure all the
above instructions are followed, then
restart the engine.
