The site is checking for referrer, you can go here

then scroll down to report 332 and click on 332 see the abstract. From there click the link for the PDF.

 

I don't think Ford offers a Passive Keyless Entry system, so it's merely interesting to me.

Aren't they talking about the vehicles with push-button start, where all you need is the key on you to enter the vehicle and start it? If correct, there are a few Ford's that have that feature now, and I'm sure more n more will have it as I see it as a requested item in a lot of forums ("Why doesn't Xvehicle have push-button start/keyless entry?")
