inform the customer that they need to keep these objects from touching the
PATS ignition key while starting the engine. These objects and devices cannot
damage the PATS ignition key, but can cause a momentary problem 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 ensure the encoded ignition key used by the customer is
an approved Ford encoded ignition key (encoded ignition keys from Rotunda,
Ilco, Curtis, or Strattec are approved Ford encoded ignition keys).
