Anti-Theft System - Ford Taurus Owner's Manual

Locks and Security
Note: If equipped with intelligent access, if the intelligent access key is
within 3 feet (1 meter) of the driver door, your keyless entry keypad
code will still function the same way, but the driver's door will also
unlock with each keypad button press.
To open the trunk, enter the factory set code or your personal code,
then press the 5 • 6 control within five seconds.
To lock all doors, press and hold the 7 • 8 and the 9 • 0 at the same
time (with the driver's door closed) for one second will lock all doors.
You do not need to enter the keypad code first.
SECURILOCK PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
SecuriLock passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless a coded integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT) or
intelligent access keys programmed to your vehicle is used. The
use of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a "no-start" condition.
Your vehicle comes with two coded integrated keyhead transmitters or
intelligent access keys; additional coded transmitters may be purchased
from your authorized dealer. The authorized dealer can program your
spare transmitters to your vehicle or you can program then yourself.
Refer to Programming spare keys for instructions on how to program
the coded key.
For integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT), the standard SecuriLock
keys without remote entry transmitter functionality can also be
purchased from your authorized dealer if desired.
Note: The SecuriLock passive anti-theft system is not compatible with
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 off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always
take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
