MUSTANG QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 2005
SMART UNLOCKINGThis feature helps prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle if your key is still in the ignition. When you open the door, lock the vehicle, and then close the door, the driver’s door will automatically unlock, reminding you that your key is still in the ignition. For more information, please refer to your Owner’s Guide.
REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEMYour  vehicle  is  equipped  with  a  remote  entry  system  which  allows  you  to  lock  or  unlock  the  vehicle’s  doors without a key. It also allows you to release the trunk lid, activate a personal alarm, and arm or disarm the active anti-theft alarm system (if equipped). Note: The Panic function will not operate when the ignition is in the ON or START position; the trunk lid release function only operates when the vehicle speed is less than 3 mph (5 km/h). Up to four  remote  transmitters  can  be  programmed  to  your  vehicle.  For  programming  instructions,  please  refer  to  your Owner’s Guide.
CENTRAL LOCKINGYour  keys  can  be  used  to  lock  and  unlock  both  doors  from  the  driver’s  door  key  cylinder.  All  doors  are  locked when  the  key  is  inserted  and  turned  to  the  lock  position.  The  driver’s  door  is  unlocked  when  the  key  is  inserted and  turned  to  the  unlock  position.  Turning  to  the  unlock  position  again  within  three  seconds  unlocks  the passenger side door. 
ACTIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)This system is designed to sound the security horn and flash the directional indicators when unauthorized entry or towing is detected. This system is armed whenever the vehicle is electronically locked and disarmed when the vehicle is electronically unlocked. For more detailed information, please refer to your Owner’s Guide.

11 PROGRAMMABLE COLOR CLUSTER (IF EQUIPPED)The  instrument  cluster  gauges  are  backlit  with  white  backlighting  when  the headlamps are off.

Pressing  RESET  will  scroll  through  the  following  selectable  colors:  Green, Purple, Orange, Blue, White, Red, and MyColor/Adjust (to define MyColor).
