Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only Securilock keys can be used. To program a coded key yourself, you will need two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure.
If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must take your vehicle to an authorized Ford dealer to have the spare coded key(s) programmed.
Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed coded key into the ignition from 1 (LOCK) to 4 (RUN) (maintain ignition in the 4 (RUN) position for at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds).
2. Turn the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position and remove the first coded key from the ignition.
3. Within ten seconds of turning the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position, insert the second previously programmed coded key into the ignition and turn the ignition from the 1 (LOCK) position to the 4 (RUN) position (maintain ignition in the 4 (RUN) position for at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds).
4. Turn the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position and remove the second coded key from the ignition.
5. Within twenty seconds of turning the ignition to the 1 (LOCK) position, insert the new unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the ignition from 1 (LOCK) to 4 (RUN) (maintain ignition in the 4 (RUN) position for at least three seconds). This step will program your new key to a coded key.
6. To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), wait at least twenty seconds and then repeat this procedure from Step 1.
If successful, the new coded key(s) will start the vehicle’s engine and the theft indicator will flash on and off. You may repeat Steps 1 through 5. If failure repeats, take your vehicle to your authorized dealer in order to have new spare key(s) programmed.
