FORD 2010 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 137)

Your vehicle comes with two coded Integrated Keyhead Transmitters or
Intelligent Access Keys; additional coded transmitters may be purchased
from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer can program your
spare transmitters to your vehicle or you can program then yourself.
Refer to Programming spare Integrated Keyhead Transmitters or
Programming Spare Intelligent Access Keys for instructions on how to
program the coded key.
For Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT), the Standard SecuriLock
௡
keys without remote entry transmitter functionality can also be
purchased from your authorized dealer if desired.
Note: The SecuriLock
௡ passive anti-theft 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: 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.
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).
