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 OFF 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.

The correct coded key must be used for your vehicle. The use of the
wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no start” condition.

If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a “no
start” condition.

Programming spare keys

A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only
SecuriLock

௢ keys can be used. To program a coded key yourself, you

will need two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already
operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily
accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure.

If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must
bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the spare coded key(s)
programmed.

Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

1. Insert the first previously
programmed coded key into the
ignition and turn the ignition from 1
(OFF) to 3 (ON) (maintain ignition
in 3 (ON) for at least three seconds,
but no more than ten seconds).

2. Turn ignition from 3 (ON) back to
1 (OFF) in order to remove the first
coded key from the ignition.

3. Within ten seconds of removing
the first coded key, insert the second previously programmed coded
