Locks and Security To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), repeat this procedure from Step 1 for each additional key. ACTIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The active anti-theft system is designed to warn you in the event of an unauthorized entry to your vehicle and is also designed to help prevent the unwanted towing of the vehicle. When the vehicle is locked and armed, the active anti-theft system monitors the following: • Doors • Hood • Trunk • Movement inside the vehicle • Change in vehicle inclination Note: The active anti-theft system includes a motion detection system which monitors the passenger cabin and a vehicle incline sensor which detects changes in vehicle attitude. The interior motion detection and vehicle incline sensing systems will operate only when the vehicle is locked using the remote keyless entry transmitter or when using the power door lock control with the accompanying door open and all doors then become closed. For convertible vehicles, the convertible top must be in the fully closed and latched position for the interior motion sensing system to arm. If you lock the vehicle using the key in the driver door key cylinder, the system will monitor the doors, trunk, and hood but the motion sensing and vehicle incline sensing will not arm. Do not arm the interior motion detection system if movement within the vehicle is likely to occur. Additionally, do not arm the vehicle incline sensing system when the vehicle is in transport. For proper operation of the interior motion detection system, ensure all windows are closed prior to arming the system. This will help prevent accidental alarm activation due to external influences and ensure proper interior motion detection. Additionally, the interior motion sensing system will not arm if either door or the trunk is ajar. If there is any potential active anti-theft problem with your vehicle, ensure ALL remote entry transmitters are taken to an authorized dealer to aid in troubleshooting. 95 2009 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide USA (fus)
