Engine immobilizer
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The engine immobilizer 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 recognizing 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
IMMOBILIZER
The engine immobilizer is armed automatically a short time after you have switched the ignition off.
DISARMING THE ENGINE
IMMOBILIZER
The engine immobilizer 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 recognized. 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 immobilizer checked immediately.
