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:
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.
Note:
Do not shield your keys with
metal objects. This may prevent the
receiver from recognising your key
as a valid one.
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.
Key coding
A maximum of eight keys (including
the ones supplied with the vehicle)
can be coded using two other keys
previously coded for your vehicle.
Complete each of the following steps
within five seconds.
1. Insert the first key in the ignition
switch and turn to position II.
2.
Turn the key back to position 0
and remove from the ignition
switch.
3. Insert the second key in the
ignition switch and turn to position
II.
4. Turn the second key back to
position 0 and remove from the
ignition switch − the key coding
mode is now activated.
5. If an uncoded key is now inserted
in the ignition switch and turned
to position II within 10 seconds,
this key is coded to the system.
6. After the coding process is
completed, remove the key from
the ignition switch. Wait five
seconds for the system to be
activated.
If coding is not completed correctly,
the indicator light flashes after the
ignition is switched on with the newly
coded key and the engine will not
start.
Repeat the coding process after
waiting 20 seconds with the ignition
switched on (position II).
Coding erasure
With two keys coded for your vehicle
you can make all the other coded
keys unusable, e.g. after loss:
Complete each of the following steps
within five seconds.
Carry out the first four steps under
Key coding, then continue as
follows:
