Engine Immobiliser; Principle Of Operation; Coded Keys; Arming The Engine Immobiliser - Ford Galaxy 2007 Owner's Handbook Manual

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 one second after you
have switched the ignition off.

DISARMING THE ENGINE
IMMOBILISER
The engine immobiliser is disarmed
automatically when you switch the
ignition on with a correctly coded key.
If the message Immobiliser active
appears in the information display,
your key has not been recognised.
Remove the key and try again.
If you are unable to start the engine
with a correctly coded key, this
indicates a malfunction. The
message Immobiliser active will
appear in the information display
when you switch on the ignition.
Have the immobiliser checked
immediately.
