SECURILOCK PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) 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 use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a "no-start" condition.

You need to prevent these objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine. Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle. 67 2010 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)

SECURILOCK

PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

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

use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition.

Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be

purchased from your authorized dealer. The authorized 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 coded key.

Note:

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.

Note:

Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to

purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same

key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these

objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These

objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a

momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the

engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on

the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.

Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always

take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
