UPFITTER CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle may be equipped with the Upfitter option package which will provide four switches, mounted in the center of the instrument panel, labeled AUX 1, AUX 2, AUX 3
and AUX 4. These switches will only operate while the ignition is in the on position, whether the engine is running or not. It is, however, recommended that the engine remain running to maintain battery charge when using the Upfitter switches for extended duration or higher current draws. (This is even more important for vehicles with diesel engines since the glow plugs are also draining battery power when the ignition key is in the on position.) When switched on by the operator they provide 8 amps, 12 amps or 20 amps of electrical battery power for a variety of personal or commercial uses. If your vehicle is equipped with this option, there will also be a relay box located on the driver side end of the instrument panel. See your authorized dealer for service. 112

Car2U姞 Home Automation System (if equipped) The Car2U威 Home Automation System is a universal transmitter located in the driver’s visor that includes two primary features – a garage door opener and a platform for remote activation of devices within the home. The Car2U威 system’s garage door opener function replaces the common hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter that is integrated into the interior of your vehicle. After being programmed for garage doors, the Car2U威 system transmitter can be programmed to operate security devices and home lighting systems.

WARNING: Make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or security device you are programming. Do not

program the Car2U威 system with the vehicle in the garage.

Do not use the Car2U威 system with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. Federal Safety Standards (this includes any garage door opener manufactured before April 1, 1982). Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future Car2U威 system programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed Car2U威 system buttons should be erased for security reasons. Refer to Erasing the Car2U威 Home Automation System buttons later in this section. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the Car2U威 system. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person assist you in programming the transmitter. Additional Car2U威 system information can be found on-line at www.learcar2U.com or by calling the toll-free Car2U威 system help line at 1-866-572-2728. Types of garage door openers (rolling code and fixed code) The Car2U威 Home Automation System may be programmed to operate rolling code and fixed code garage door openers. • Rolling code garage door openers were produced after 1996 and are code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every time your remote control garage door opener is used.

115

2011 F-250/350/450/550 (f23) Owners Guide, 4th Printing USA (fus)

Driver Controls • Fixed code garage door openers were produced prior to 1996. Fixed

code uses the same coded signal every time. It is manually programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code.

If you do not know if your garage door opener is a rolling code or fixed code device, open your garage door opener’s remote control battery cover. If a panel of DIP switches is present your garage door opener is a fixed code device. If not, your garage door opener is a rolling code device.

Note: Programming the Car2U威 system to a community gate will require a unique set of instructions depending on the gate system model. Contact the Car2U威 help line at 1-866-572-2728 to program your Car2U威 system. Note: Accidentally entering the program mode may override previously programmed buttons. This can happen by pressing and releasing the outer two buttons, or all three buttons, simultaneously. If this happens, do not press any button until the module times out after approximately 2.5 seconds and resets to normal mode. When time-out occurs, all three LEDs will flash rapidly for a few seconds then turn off. Any settings should remain as previously set. Rolling code programming Note: Programming the rolling code garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions. Read the entire procedure prior to beginning so you will know which actions are time-sensitive. If you do not follow the time-sensitive actions, the device will time out and you will have to repeat the procedure. Note: Do not program the Car2U威 system with the vehicle in the garage. Make sure that your key is on and engine off while programming the transmitter.

After successful programming, you will be able to operate your Car2U威 system by pressing the button you programmed to activate the opener. The indicator light above the selected button will turn on to confirm that the Car2U威 system is responding to the button command. To program another rolling code device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device or home lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 4
substituting a different function button in Step 3 than what you used for the garage door opener. For example, you could assign the left-most button to the garage door, the center button to a security device, and the right-most button to another garage door opener. Note: The Car2U威 system allows for three devices to be programmed. If you need to change or replace any of the three devices after it has been initially programmed, it is necessary to erase the current settings using the Erasing the Car2U威 Home Automation System buttons procedure and then programming all of the devices being used.

Fixed code programming Note: Do not program the Car2U威 system with the vehicle in the garage. Make sure that your key is on and engine off while programming the transmitter. 1. To program units with fixed code DIP switches, you will need the garage door hand-held transmitter, paper and a pen or pencil. 2. Open the battery cover and record the switch settings from left to right for all 8 to 12 switches. Use the figure below: When a switch is in the up, on, or + position, circle “L.” When a switch is in the middle, neutral, or 0 position, circle “M.” When a switch is in the down, off, or – position, circle “R.”

If you choose to install a remote start system please see your authorized dealer for a Ford approved remote start system. The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a non Ford-approved remote start system. The actions proved below do not make MyKey威 compatible with non Ford-approved remote start system, but it MAY help you to retain some MyKey威 functions. Vehicles equipped with traditional keys When using a non Ford-approved remote start system, the default settings may recognize the remote start system as an additional admin key with its associated privileges. This makes it NOT compatible with MyKey威. The following action may help you to retain some MyKey威 functions: 1. Restart the engine when you insert a key into the ignition cylinder. 2. In addition to the key that you have already programmed as a MyKey威, owners of vehicles equipped with traditional keys may want to program the non Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey威 if the remote start fob is used by the MyKey威 driver. To program a non Ford-approved remote start system as MyKey威, do the following: 1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors. 2. Remote start the vehicle using a remote start fob. 3. Follow steps 1-4 in the Create a MyKey威 section. Vehicles equipped with intelligent access key (push button start) • It is not possible to program any remote start system as MyKey威 on vehicles equipped with an intelligent access key (push button start). Therefore, you should treat the remote start fob as you would any other admin key. When the vehicle is started using remote start, the system will stall the engine when you either enter the vehicle or shift the vehicle into gear. Prior to the engine stall, the vehicle will have administrative privileges. When you restart the engine, the vehicle will identify the user as an admin or MyKey威 drive depending on the settings of the actual key used to start the vehicle.

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT) complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. There are two possible types of IKTs: vehicles with the remote start feature will have the IKT shown. Vehicle’s without remote start will not have the remote start button

The typical operating range for your IKT is approximately 33 feet (10 meters). A decrease in operating range could be caused by: • weather conditions, • nearby radio towers, • structures around the vehicle, or • other vehicles parked next to your vehicle. The IKT allows you to: • remotely unlock the vehicle doors. • remotely lock all the vehicle doors. • remotely start the engine (if equipped with remote start). • activate the personal alarm. • operate the illuminated entry feature. The remote entry lock/unlock feature operates in any ignition position except while the key is held in the start position. The panic feature operates with the key in the off position. If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take ALL integrated keyhead transmitters with you to the authorized dealer in order to aid in troubleshooting the problem. 140

Locks and Security

Note: The SecuriLock威 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.

Automatic arming The vehicle is armed immediately after turning the ignition off.

Automatic disarming Switching the ignition on with a coded key disarms the vehicle.

Replacement keys If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be programmed. Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys.

Programming spare keys A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only SecuriLock威 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 bring your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare coded key(s) programmed.
