Keys
This key locks and opens all the car's locks. Usually, each key has its own number, and the set of keys is accompanied by a special tag. If you lose the main key, you should contact the Service Center and give them its number to make a duplicate.
Key with backlight
The key illumination works when the button is pressed. The battery and bulb are a separate replaceable element that can be purchased at the Service Center or specialized stores. To change the bulb or battery, you need to press the button with the Ford emblem all the way and pull out the element. Then open it and replace the required part. Then close the element and insert it back into place.
Warning: To protect the environment, used lithium batteries should not be disposed of with household waste.
Master key for remote control system
The master key locks and unlocks all the car's locks. The transmitter for the infrared remote door control system is built into the key, and the receiver is built into the front door handle.
Castles
Door locks
The front passenger door can be opened/closed either with the key from the outside or with the door lock handle from the inside. The driver's door can only be locked from the outside with the key. The front and rear passenger doors - by pressing the handle and closing the door from the outside. A white mark is visible at the end of the handle.
For information on using the anti-theft device, double locking or internal warning system, see the relevant Paragraphs below.
Locking the rear door against accidental opening by a child
To lock, move the rear door lock lever inwards. The lock can now only be opened from the outside.
Opening the trunk
To open the luggage compartment, turn the key to the right until it stops. This will automatically turn on the lighting.
If the ignition is switched off and the doors are not locked, the luggage compartment can be opened by simply pressing the lock cylinder. To facilitate opening/closing, there are special recessed handles on the luggage compartment lid.
Central locking system
The central door locking system can be activated from both front doors, either from the outside with the key or from the inside by pressing the door handle. It only works when the doors are fully closed.
The luggage compartment can be opened directly with the key or by remote control.
The door locking mode eliminates the possibility of unwanted intrusion into the car (for example, when stopped at a traffic light).
Double locking system
Now it is impossible to open the car from the inside.
The system is an additional means of protecting the doors and luggage compartment from unwanted intrusion into the vehicle.
Warning: Do not use the double locking system if there are passengers in the vehicle.
Turning on the system
Double locking is only possible if all doors are completely closed.
The system can be activated from both front doors by turning the key first to position (1), then within 3 seconds to position (2). If an intermittent sound signal appears, the system is working.
Independently of this, you can also turn on the security alarm system. To do this, turn the key to position (2).
For more detailed information, please refer to the relevant Paragraph.
Functional check
When the double locking system is activated, the corresponding indicator lamp and/or direction indicators will flash for 5 seconds.
System shutdown
The system will automatically turn off once the vehicle is opened with the key.
Warning: If the electrical system in the vehicle is faulty, the front doors can be opened with the key.
Remote control system
The remote control system works on infrared radiation. It will turn on as soon as the ignition key is removed from the lock and all doors are closed.
The maximum distance between the receiver (in the front doors) and the transmitter (in the key) is 5 meters.
The luggage compartment can be opened either with a key from the outside or by remote control from the inside.
Unblocking
To unlock, point the key at one of the front doors and press the button with one triangle: the central locking, double locking and alarm system are deactivated.
Blocking
To activate the central lock, point the key at one of the front doors and press the button with two triangles: the car will lock with the central lock and the alarm system will be activated. If you press the button twice, after 3 seconds the double lock and the alarm system with sensors inside the cabin will be activated.
Replacing the key battery
If the key indicator lamp does not light when any button is pressed, both batteries in the key must be replaced. Order number: 5 030 185. To replace the batteries, pry the cover with a flat object, open it, remove the old batteries and place the new ones between the contacts, with the "+" sign facing up. Then close the cover.
Warning: If it takes more than 15 seconds to replace the battery, the locking system needs to be reprogrammed. This is best done at the Service Center.
Warning: To protect the environment, used lithium batteries should not be disposed of with household waste.
Engine immobilization system
Once the immobilizer system is activated, the engine cannot be started. Therefore, it must first be deactivated using a key with an electronic code.
Keys
There are three electronic code keys for the Ford Mondeo: the main red key and two with a red mark. These should be kept especially carefully, as no other keys will work.
Automatic activation of the engine immobilizer system
The system turns on 5 seconds after the ignition is turned off. When the system is running, the signal lamp lights up every two seconds.
Automatic engine immobilizer system shutdown
If one of the three electronic code keys is used, the system is automatically disabled after the ignition is turned on.
Functional check
When the ignition is turned on, the indicator lamp on the digital clock or trip computer lights up for about 3 seconds, indicating that the system is operating normally.
If the indicator lamp flashes quickly for about 1 minute at regular intervals when the ignition is turned on, this means that the system has not identified the key code. Remove the key from the ignition switch and start the engine again.
If, when the ignition is turned on, the control lamp lights up for about 1 minute, then starts to flash irregularly, this means that the system is damaged. In this case, it is necessary to check it at the Service Center.
Warning: To avoid incorrect reading of the code from the key, do not coat its head with metal. It is better to keep the main (red) key in a safe place.
Key coding
Up to 15 spare master keys can be programmed. To do this, insert the master key into the ignition and turn it to position II. When the indicator lamp lights up, switch off the ignition, remove the key and wait until the indicator lamp lights up again. After it goes out, you have about 10 seconds to program one key: insert it into the ignition and turn it to position II. Once programming is complete, the indicator lamp goes out.
If you need to encode other keys, the operation must be repeated.
If necessary, the Service Center can replace the main key and reprogram already coded duplicates. The system does not require special maintenance.
Warning: If you lose your keys, please report this to the Service Center and change the code for safety.
