PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
The engine immobiliser is a theft
protection system that prevents
someone from starting the engine
with an incorrectly coded key.
CODED KEYS
Note:
Do not shield your keys with
metal objects. This may prevent the
receiver from recognising your key
as a valid one.
Note:
Have all of your remaining
keys erased and recoded if you lose
a key. Ask your dealer for further
information. Have replacement keys
recoded together with your existing
keys.
If you lose a key, you can obtain a
replacement from your Ford Dealer.
If possible, provide them with the key
number from the tag provided with
the original keys. You can also obtain
additional keys from your Ford
Dealer.
ARMING THE ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
The engine immobiliser is armed
automatically a short time after you
have switched the ignition off.
The indicator in the instrument cluster
will flash to confirm that the system
is operating.
DISARMING THE ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
The engine immobiliser is disarmed
automatically when you switch the
ignition on with a correctly coded key.
The indicator in the instrument cluster
will come on for approximately three
seconds and then go out. If the
indicator stays on for one minute or
flashes for approximately one minute
and then repeatedly at irregular
intervals, your key has not been
recognised. Remove the key and try
again.
If you attempt to start the engine with
an incorrectly coded key, you will
need to wait for approximately 20
seconds before attempting to start
the engine again with a correctly
coded key.
If you are unable to start the engine
with a correctly coded key, this
indicates a malfunction. Have the
immobiliser checked immediately.
