Electronic immobiliser
T
he immobiliser helps to prevent the en-
gine from being started and driven with an
unauthorised vehicle key.
There is a chip in the vehicle key. This deac-
tivates the immobiliser automatically when
a valid vehicle key is located inside the ve-
hicle.
The engine can only be started using a gen-
uine Ford vehicle key with the correct code.
Coded vehicle keys are available from
a qualified workshop.
The vehicle cannot be operated prop-
erly if you do not have a genuine key.
