vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Large metallic
objects, a second key or electronic devices used to purchase gasoline or
similar items on the same key ring as the PATS ignition key may cause
vehicle starting problems. If present, you need to keep these objects
from touching the PATS ignition key while starting the engine. These
objects cannot damage the PATS ignition key, but can cause a
momentary problem if they are too close to the key during engine start.
If a problem occurs, turn the 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 encoded ignition key is an approved Ford encoded
ignition key.
Spare SecuriLock娂 keys can be purchased from your dealership and
programmed to your SecuriLock娂 passive anti-theft system. Refer to
Programming spare SecuriLock娂 keys for more information.
If one or both of your SecuriLock娂 keys are lost or stolen and you want
to ensure the lost or stolen key will not operate your vehicle, bring your
vehicle and all available SecuriLock娂 keys to your dealership for
reinitialization.
Theft indicator
The theft indicator on the instrument cluster will operate as follows:
• When the ignition is OFF, the theft indicator will flash briefly every
two seconds to indicate the SecuriLock娂 system is protecting your
vehicle.
• When the ignition is turned to ON or START, the theft indicator will
light for three seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on
for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system
serviced by your dealership or a qualified technician.
Programming spare SecuriLock姟 keys
Spare SecuriLock娂 keys can be purchased from your dealership and
programmed to your SecuriLock娂 passive anti-theft system (up to a
total of eight keys). Your dealership can program your new SecuriLock娂
key(s) to your vehicle or you can do it yourself using the following
simple procedure. To program a new SecuriLock娂 key yourself, you will
need two previously programmed SecuriLock娂 keys (keys that already
operate your vehicle’s engine). If two previously programmed
SecuriLock娂 keys are not available (one or both of your original keys
were lost or stolen), you must bring your vehicle to your dealership to
have the spare SecuriLock娂 key(s) programmed.
