    SECURILOCK PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEMSecuriLock passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilizationsystem. This system is designed to prevent the engine from being startedunless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a no-start condition.The SecuriLock passive anti-theft system is not compatible withnon-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems mayresult in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may bepurchased from your dealer. The dealer can program your spare keys to your vehicle or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to Programming spare keys for instructions on how to program the codedkey.Note: Coded keys are not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remotestarting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle startingproblems and loss of security protection.

    Note: Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used topurchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the samekey chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent theseobjects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. Theseobjects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause amomentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting theengine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects onthe key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.

    Replacement keysIf your keys are lost or stolen and you don t have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership. The key codesneed to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys and key codeswill need to be programmed.

    Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed keyaway from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent anyinconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additionalspare or replacement keys.

    Programming spare keysYou can program your own coded keys to your vehicle. Please read andunderstand the entire procedure before you begin.

    Tips: A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only use Securilock keys. You must have two previously programmed coded keys (keys that

    already operate your vehicle s engine) and the new unprogrammedkey(s) readily accessible.

    If no previously programmed coded keys are available, you must take your vehicle to your dealer to have the spare key(s) programmed.

    1. Insert a previously programmedcoded key into the ignition.2. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF)position to the 4 (ON) position. Keepthe ignition in the 4 (ON) positionfor at least one second, but no morethan 10 seconds.3. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF)position, and remove the coded keyfrom the ignition.4. Within ten seconds of removing the previously programmed coded key,insert the other previously programmed coded key into the ignition.5. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the 4 (ON) position.Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON) position for at least one second but notmore than 10 seconds.6. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF) position, and remove the second key

    from the ignition.7. Within twenty seconds of removing the previously programmed codedkey, insert the unprogrammed key (new/valet key) into the ignition.8. Turn the ignition from the 3 (OFF) position to the 4 (ON) position.Keep the ignition in the 4 (ON) position for at least one second, but nomore than 10 seconds.9. Your new unprogrammed key is now programmed.If the key has been successfully programmed it will start the vehicle sengine and the theft indicator light will illuminate for three seconds andthen go out. If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start your vehicle s engine and the theft indicator light will flash on and off.

    In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likelyto die than a person wearing a safety belt.

    Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety beltassembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that

    are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt on theoutside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm. 2)Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the inside shoulder.3) Never use a single belt for more than one person.

    Always transport children 12 years old and under in the backseat and always properly use appropriate child restraints.

    Safety belts and seats can become hot in a vehicle that has beenclosed up in sunny weather; they could burn a small child. Check

    seat covers and buckles before you place a child anywhere near them.

    Energy Management Feature This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management

    feature at the front seating positions to help further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision.

    This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed toextend the seat belt webbing in a controlled manner. This helpsreduce the belt force acting on the user s chest.

    BELT AND RETRACTOR ASSEMBLY MUST BE REPLACED if the safety belt assembly automatic locking retractor feature or

    any other safety belt function is not operating properly when checkedaccording to the procedures in Workshop Manual. Failure to replacethe Belt and Retractor assembly could increase the risk of injury incollisions.

    In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre-locked. The belt willstill retract to remove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automaticlocking mode is not available on the driver safety belt.

    This mode should be used any time a child safety seat is installed in apassenger front or outboard rear seating position (if equipped).

    Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the BeltMinder chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the risk of

    injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the BeltMinder feature please follow the directions stated below.

    One time disable Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during anignition ON cycle, BeltMinder will be disabled for that ignition cycle only.

    Deactivating/activating the BeltMinder feature Before following the procedure, make sure that: The ignition switch and headlamp control are in the OFF position and

    all the doors are closed. The parking brake is set and the gearshift is in P (Park) (automatic

    transmission) or neutral (manual transmission). The driver s safety belt is unbuckled.

    Read steps 1 - 9 before proceeding with the deactivation/activation procedure.

    BeltMinder deactivation/activation procedure:

    To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate/activate the BeltMinder feature while driving the vehicle.

    1. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN (or ON) position without startingthe engine.

    2. Wait for the safety belt warning light to turn off. (Approximately 1 2minutes.) Steps 3 5 must be completed within 60 seconds or the procedure will

    have to be repeated.

    3. Buckle, then unbuckle, the safety belt three times, ending with thesafety belt unbuckled. This can be done before or during BeltMinderwarning activation.

    4. Turn on the headlamp control, then turn it off.

    5. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times, ending with thesafety belt unbuckled. After step 5, the safety belt warning light will be turned on for three

    seconds.

Confirmation of enabling BeltMinder is provided by: The safety belt warning light flashing four times per second for three

    seconds, followed by three seconds with the safety belt warning lightoff.

    Once again, the safety belt warning light will flash four times persecond for three seconds.

    9. After receiving confirmation, the deactivation/activation procedure iscomplete.

    Safety belt extension assemblyIf the safety belt is too short when fully extended, there is a 20 cm (8inch) safety belt extension assembly that can be added (part number611C22). This assembly can be obtained from your dealer at no cost.Use only extensions manufactured by the same supplier as the safetybelt. Manufacturer identification is located at the end of the webbing onthe label. Also, use the safety belt extension only if the safety belt is tooshort for you when fully extended. Do not use extensions to change thefit of the shoulder belt across the torso.

    Safety belt maintenanceInspect the safety belt systems periodically to make sure they workproperly and are not damaged (nicks, tears or cuts). Replace parts asnecessary.
