How to Program a 2013 Ford Flex Ignition Smart Chip Key Transponder

Step by Step How to Programming Instructions:

If you have a Key or Remote head Key system and need to add a new key, follow these instructions. You’ll need two previously programmed keys to add a third key. If two are not available, you’ll need to contact a local locksmith.

1. Insert the first previously programmed key into the ignition.
2. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
3. Switch the ignition off and remove the first programmed key from the ignition.
4. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of switching the ignition off, insert the second previously programmed key into the ignition.
5. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
6. Switch the ignition off and remove the second previously programmed key from the ignition.
7. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of switching the ignition off and removing the previously programmed key, insert the new unprogrammed key into the ignition.
8. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least six seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed key from the ignition. If the key has been successfully programmed, it will start the engine and operate the remote entry system (if the new key is an integrated key head transmitter). If it was not programmed successfully, wait 10 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8.

If your Ford Focus has the smart key system, use these instructions. You must have two previously programmed keys to program a spare key. If you have one working smart key, you can rent a programmer. Otherwise, locate a locksmith using the provided website. Ensure the ignition is switched off before beginning this procedure. Make sure all doors are closed before beginning and that they remain closed throughout the procedure. Carry out all steps within 30 seconds of starting the sequence. Stop and wait for at least one minute before starting again if you carry out any steps out of sequence.

Note: You can program a maximum of eight smart keys to your vehicle. Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
