Activating the remote personal alarm
[CF46700(ALL)01/96]
If you wish to activate the remote personal alarm, press the
PANIC button. This will honk the horn and flash the tail lamps
for approximately two minutes and forty-five seconds. You can
turn it OFF by pressing the PANIC button again on the same
transmitter or by turning the ignition key to the RUN position.
If the alarm does not turn off, move the transmitter closer to the
vehicle and press the button again.

by turning the ignition to the RUN position.
[CF46900(ALL)07/96]
Replacing the batteries
*
[CF47000(ALL)05/96]
The remote 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.
*
[CF47100(ALL)01/96]
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.

Combination Lap and Shoulder Belt Ð Second Row
Bench Seat

[SS13800(ALL)01/96]
There is a unique safety restraint system for the outside seating
position of the second row bench seat. It is very important that
you read and understand this section before anyone rides in the
outside seating position (near the sliding door) of the
two-passenger bench seat.
[SS13900(ALL)12/95]
In addition to safety belt anchorages in the floor and roof
structures, the second row bench seat has a detachable safety
belt anchor mounted to the right window side of the seat. The
safety belt should always remain attached to this anchor except
when removing this seat.
[SS14000(ALL)12/95]
The second row passenger side outboard seating position uses a
hook above the sliding door to stow the shoulder safety belt
when entering or exiting the vehicle or when it is not being
used.
[SS14100(ALL)05/96]
NOTE: When the belt is stowed using the hook, DO NOT use
the hanging belt as an assist when entering the
vehicle.
