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 Ford 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.
