Theft Indicator; Replacement Keys; Programming Spare Keys - Ford Lincoln LS 2004 Owner's Manual

Locks and Security
Your vehicle comes with three coded keys; additional coded keys may be
purchased from your dealer. The dealer can program your spare keys to
your vehicle or you can program the keys yourself. Refer to the
Programming spare keys section in this chapter for instructions on how
to program the coded key.
Note: The SecuriLock
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 to the 2 (OFF) position,
remove all objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart
the engine.

Theft indicator

The theft indicator is located on top of the instrument panel.
• When the ignition is in the 2 (OFF) position, the indicator will flash
once every 2 seconds if the vehicle is locked and the perimeter alarm
is armed.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock

this occurs, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for
service.

Replacement keys

If your keys are lost or stolen and you don't have an extra coded key,
you will need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership. The key codes
need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be
programmed.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key
away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any
inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional
spare or replacement keys.

Programming spare keys
