Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) - Overview: Overview

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2017 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2017 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2017 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PATS deters the vehicle from theft by preventing the vehicle from starting unless a valid programmed key is detected inside the vehicle when the START/STOP button is pressed.

The PATS does not disable an already running vehicle.
