FORD 2012 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 130)

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
SecuriLock
௡ system 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 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 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.
