The keyless entry system keypad
[FV05110(ALL)04/95]
When you bought your vehicle, you were given a computer
code that operates the system for your vehicle. For your
convenience, we have duplicated this code in two places.

[FV05120(ALL)02/95]
The code is:

[FV05160(ALL)04/95]
When you use the keyless entry system, the illuminated entry
system turns on the interior lights for 25 seconds and the
buttons on the keypad light up for five seconds.

[FV05170(ALL)01/93]
Do not push the keypad buttons with a key, ball-point pen,

The keyless entry system automatically erases your personal
code. The system will now only respond to the permanent
code.
[FV07270(ALL)10/93]
Do not set a code that presents the numbers in sequential order,
such as 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/0. Studies show that people who
idly press the buttons usually press a sequential pattern. Also,
do not select a code that uses the same button five times.
Thieves can easily figure out these types of codes.

Battery Saver
[FV09302(ALL)06/94]
When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the vehicle will turn
off battery voltage to the interior lamps after 45 minutes. (The
exterior lamps are not affected.) The purpose is to minimize
extended battery drain if the lights have inadvertently been left
on or if a door or the glove box is not completely closed.
However, the timer will be immediately reset to another 45
minutes if any of the following occurs:
[FV09304(ALL)11/93]
n
any door is open or closed
[FV09305(ALL)11/93]

system also has a personal alarm feature. The buttons that
control the system are located on the hand held transmitter that
come with your vehicle.

Replacing the batteries
*
[FV09392(ALL)02/95]
The remote entry transmitter is powered by two coin type
three-volt lithium 2016 batteries (included) that should last for
several years of normal use. If you notice a significant decrease
in operating range, the batteries should be replaced.
Replacement batteries can be purchased at most pharmacies,
watch stores or at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
*
[FV09401(ALL)11/93]
NOTE: The operating range of the remote entry system can
also be affected by weather conditions (such as very
cold temperatures) or structures around the vehicle
(buildings, other vehicles, radio towers, etc.). Typical
operating range will allow you to be up to 33 feet (10
meters) away from your vehicle.

cylinders and attaching hardware if the liftgate door is not
closed prior to driving.
[FV09940(ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
Make sure that the liftgate door is closed to prevent
exhaust fumes from being drawn into the vehicle. This
will also prevent passengers and cargo from falling out.
If you must drive with the liftgate door open, keep the
vents open so outside air comes into the vehicle.
