batteries should be replaced. Replacement batteries can be
purchased at most pharmacies, watch stores or at your Ford or

Replacing lost transmitters
[CF80562(R)01/96]
In the event a transmitter is lost, you should take your vehicle's
transmitters to your dealer to have the remote entry system
deprogrammed for the lost transmitter. This is necessary to
prevent further unauthorized use of the lost transmitter.
*
[CF80564(R)01/96]
You can also purchase additional transmitters (up to 4
transmitters can be used) from your dealer. You will need to
take all your transmitters to the dealer so they can program
them to the remote entry system all at the same time.

off after approximately 25 seconds or when the ignition is
turned to the RUN or ACC position.
[CF80578(R)04/96]

voltage to all of these lights after 40 minutes: glove box, engine
compartment, overhead console, mirror, courtesy and
interior (including cargo) lamps.
*

entry transmitter is used, any door is opened, or the ignition
key is turned on again.

Arming the System
[CF81210(R)04/96]
The system is ready to arm any time the ignition switch is
turned OFF and the alarm is not triggered or sounding. Any of
the following events will prearm the anti-theft system:
[CF81212(R)05/96]
n
Pressing the remote entry transmitter LOCK control to lock
the doors (with the doors open or closed),
[CF81216(R)05/96]
n
Opening a door and pressing the power door lock control to
lock the doors.
[CF81250(R)01/96]
If a door is open, the anti-theft system is prearmed and waiting
for all doors to close. The THEFT indicator in the instrument
panel will light continuously while the system is prearmed.
[CF81264(R)01/96]
n
Close all doors
[CF81300(R)01/96]
Once all doors are closed, if any were open, the system will
begin a 30 second countdown to become armed. The 30 second
countdown allows people who may still be in the vehicle time
to exit without triggering the alarm. The THEFT indicator will
glow steadily until the system is armed. When the system is
armed, the THEFT indicator will begin to flash with short
flashes every 2 seconds until the system is triggered or
disarmed.

Remember, all doors must be fully closed for the anti-theft
system to arm. If a door has been left open or ajar, and you
press the remote entry transmitter twice to confirm the doors

[CF81360(R)05/96]
When you get a single horn chirp by pressing the LOCK control
twice within 5 seconds on your remote entry transmitter, you
can be assured that all doors are locked and the anti-theft
system is arming.
% [CF81400(R)01/96]

[CF81442(R)04/96]
When unlocking the vehicle with a key, turn the key all the
way to the end of its travel or the system may not disarm.
*
[CF81448(R)01/96]
NOTE: The flashing lights and honking horn will shut off
automatically within 2 minutes 45 seconds after the
system is triggered. It will trigger again if another
intrusion occurs. However, the starter circuit remains
disabled until the system is disarmed.
*
[CF81450(R)01/96]
The anti-theft system is designed to work with the factory
installed remote entry system. It may not work with other
remote entry systems.
