SECURILOCKி PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
The SecuriLock passive anti-theft system provides an advanced level of
vehicle theft protection. Your vehicle’s engine can only be started with
the two special SecuriLock electronically coded keys provided with
your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the SecuriLock key is
read by the SecuriLock passive anti-theft system. If the SecuriLock
key identification code matches the code stored in the SecuriLock
anti-theft system, the vehicle’s engine is allowed to start. If the
SecuriLock key identification code does not match the code stored in
the system or if a SecuriLock key is not detected (vehicle theft
situation), the vehicle’s engine will not operate.
If there is any potential SecuriLock anti-theft problem with your
vehicle, ensure ALL SecuriLock keys for that vehicle are brought to
the dealership, to aid in troubleshooting.
The SecuriLock passive anti-theft system is not compatible with
aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in
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 keys can be purchased from your dealership and
programmed to your SecuriLock passive anti-theft system. Refer to
Programming spare SecuriLock keys for more information.
If one or both of your SecuriLock 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 keys to your dealership for
reinitialization.
