SECURILOCK

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 coded key on the
same key chain may cause vehicle starting issues if they are too close to
the key when starting the engine. Prevent these objects from touching
the coded key while starting the engine. Switch the ignition off, move all
objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine
if a problem occurs.

Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take
your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.

The system is an engine immobilization system. It is designed to help
prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to
your vehicle is used. Using the wrong 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 correctly coded key, a
malfunction has happened and a message may appear in the information
display.

Automatic Arming

The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition off.

Anti-Theft Indicator

The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster.

• When the ignition is in the off position, the indicator will

flash once every two seconds to indicate the SecuriLock

system is functioning as a theft deterrent.

• When the ignition is in the on position, the indicator will glow for

three seconds, then turn off to indicate normal system functionality.

If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock

௡ system, 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 second 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.
