Automatic arming

The vehicle is armed immediately
after switching the ignition to the 1
(OFF/LOCK) position.

Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 3 (ON) position with a coded key disarms
the vehicle.

Key information
Your vehicle is supplied with two coded keys. Only a coded key will
start your vehicle. Spare coded keys can be purchased from your
dealership. Your dealership can program your key or you can “do it
yourself.” Refer to the Programming spare keys section in this chapter.
The following items may prevent the vehicle from starting:
• Large metallic objects

• Electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase

gasoline or similar items

• A second key on the same key ring as the coded key
If any of these items are present, you need to keep these objects from
touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects and
devices cannot damage the coded key, but can cause a momentary “no
start” condition if they are too close to the key during engine start. If a
problem occurs, turn ignition the OFF position and restart the engine
with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition key.
Check to make sure the coded key is an approved Ford coded key.
If your keys are lost or stolen you will need to do the following:
• Use your spare key to start the vehicle, or

• Have your vehicle towed to a dealership or a locksmith. The key codes

will need to be erased from your vehicle and new key codes will need
to be re-coded.

Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you may want to store an
extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent
an unforeseen inconvenience.
