Locks and Security The SecuriLockT passive antiĆtheft system is not compatible with nonĆFord (aftermarket) remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Large metallic objects, electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the same key ring as the coded key ignition key may cause vehicle starting issues. If present, you need to keep these objects from touching the coded key ignition key while starting the engine. These objects and devices cannot damage the coded key ignition key, but can cause a momentary issue 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 ignition key is an approved Ford coded key ignition key. Spare SecuriLockT keys can be purchased from your dealership and programmed to your SecuriLockT passive antiĆtheft system. Refer to Programming spare SecuriLockT keys for more information. If one or both of your SecuriLockT 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 SecuriLockT keys to your dealership for reinitialization. 124
