FORD 2002 F-550 v.2 - Manual (Page 91)

Certain items may cause vehicle
starting issues:
• large metallic objects
• electronic devices on the key
chain that can be used to
purchase gasoline or similar items
• a second key on the same key
ring as the coded key
If any of these items are present,
you need to keep these objects from
touching the coded key while
starting the engine. These objects
and devices cannot damage the
coded key, but can cause a
momentary “no start” condition if they are too close to the key during
engine start. If a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF and restart the
engine with all other objects on the key ring held away from the ignition
key. Check to make sure the coded key is an approved Ford coded key.
If your keys are lost or stolen you
will need to do the following:
• Use your spare key to start the
vehicle, or
• Have your vehicle towed to a
dealership or a locksmith. The
key codes will need to be erased
from your vehicle and new key codes will need to be re-coded.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you may want to store an
extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent
an unforeseen inconvenience.
The correct coded key must be used for your vehicle. The use of the
wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no start”condition.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition it will cause a “no
start” condition.
