Locks and Security 7. Turn the ignition to the 3 (OFF) position. The horn will chirp once to confirm the procedure is complete. SECURILOCKி PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM SecuriLock passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The SecuriLock passive anti-theft system is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Theft indicator The theft indicator is located on top of the instrument panel. • When the ignition is in the 3 (OFF) position, the indicator will flash once every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock system is functioning as a theft deterrent. • When the ignition is in the 4 (ON) position, the indicator will glow for 3 seconds to indicate normal system functionality. If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock system, the indicator will flash rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the 4 (ON) position. If this occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for service. Key information Your vehicle is supplied with two coded keys (or three keys, if the valet feature is available). Only a coded key will start your vehicle. Spare coded keys may be purchased from an authorized Ford dealer. An authorized Ford dealer can also program your coded key, or you can do it yourself. Refer to Programming spare keys in this chapter. The following items may prevent the vehicle from starting: • Large metallic objects. • Electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase gasoline or similar items. • A second key on the same key ring as the coded key. If any of these items are present, you need to prevent these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects cannot damage the coded key, but may cause a momentary "no start" condition if they are too close to the key when starting the engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition to the 2 (OFF) position 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 is an approved Ford coded key. 105 2005 Monterey (mty) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA_English (fus)
