FORD 2012 Fiesta v.3 - Manual (Page 145)

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.
SecuriLock
௡ passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The use
of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition.
Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be
purchased from and programmed by your authorized dealer.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off
position.
Anti-theft indicator
The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster.
• When the ignition is off, the
indicator will flash once every two
seconds to indicate the
SecuriLock
௡ system is functioning
as a theft deterrent.
• When the ignition is on, 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 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, and the vehicle will not start,
contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the on position with a coded key disarms the
vehicle.
