Coded Key Anti-Theft System
Your vehicle is equipped with a coded key anti-theft
system, you can only use an electronically coded
key to start the vehicle. During each vehicle start
sequence, the coded key is read by the anti-theft
system. If the key’s ID code matches that in the
anti-theft system, the vehicle is enabled to start. If
the key’s ID code does not match the anti-theft
system, or if no coded key is detected, then the
vehicle is not able to start. Your vehicle was
equipped with two electronically coded keys. The
coded ignition key is larger than normal due to the
electronics located in the head of the key.
Additional spare keys, maximum of eight, can be
purchased either through your dealership or selected
retailers. Be sure to purchase only coded keys with
a Ford or Mercury logo on it to ensure proper
functionality. If both supplied keys are lost or
stolen, the vehicle must be brought to the
dealership for re-initialization. (All keys must be
brought to the dealer, if any.)
Theft Indicator
The indicator pprovides system proveout and
operating status. The system activates the indicator
when the ignition switch is placed in the ON or
START position. This indicator helps to determine
possible fault conditions and/or normal operating
proveout. The system will illuminate the indicator
for three seconds then go out to acknowledge
normal operating conditions. If the indicator does
not illuminate at key ON or flashes, have the
system serviced.
