Locks and Security Anti-theft indicator The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument panel cluster. • When the ignition is off, the indicator will flash once every two seconds to indicate the SecuriLock௡ system is functioning as a theft deterrent. • When the ignition is on, the indicator will glow for three seconds to indicate normal system functionality (IKT equipped vehicles only). If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock௡ system, the indicator will flash rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the on position. If this occurs, turn the ignition off then back to on to make sure there was no electronic interference with the programmed key. If the vehicle doesn't start, try to start it with the 2nd programmed key and if successful contact your authorized dealership for key replacement. If the indicator still flashes rapidly or glows steadily, the vehicle will not start, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service (IKT equipped vehicles only). Automatic arming The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off position. The theft indicator will flash every two seconds to act as a theft deterrent when the vehicle is armed. Automatic disarming The vehicle is disarmed immediately after the ignition is turned on. If equipped with IKTs, the theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible. Replacement of integrated keyhead transmitters (IKT) or intelligent access keys Note: Your vehicle comes equipped with two integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) or two intelligent access keys. 132 2011 Taurus Owners Guide, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
