and flash the parking lamps and tail lamps for
approximately two minutes and forty-five seconds.
You can turn it OFF by pressing the PANIC control

SystemIf your vehicle is equipped with the factory installed
anti-theft system, the remote entry system will
automatically arm it when the doors are locked
with the remote entry LOCK control. The remote
entry UNLOCK control will disarm or reset a
triggered anti-theft alarm.
The remote entry system is designed to work with
the factory installed anti-theft system. It may not
work with other anti-theft systems.
Replacing the BatteriesThe remote entry transmitter is powered by two
coin type three-volt lithium 1616 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.
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
and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating range will
allow you to be up to 33 feet (10 meters) away
from your vehicle.
The transmitter can be snapped apart to replace the
batteries by twisting a thin coin between the two
halves of the transmitter. DO NOT TAKE THE
FRONT PART OF THE TRANSMITTER APART.

126NOTE:All transmitters to be used on your vehicle
must be programmed/reprogrammed at the same
time.Battery SaverWhen the ignition is turned off, the vehicle will
turn off battery voltage to the interior lights after 45
minutes.
This will prevent draining of the battery if those
lights have been left on inadvertently or if a door is
not completely closed. Battery voltage to these
lamps will be restored when the keyless entry
keypad is used, the remote entry transmitter is
used, any door is opened, the trunk is opened, or
the ignition key is turned to the ON position.
Anti-theft SystemWhen armed, this system helps protect your vehicle
against break-ins or theft by monitoring all doors,
the hood, and the trunk lock cylinder.
When an unauthorized entry occurs, the system
triggers and will:q
flash the headlamps, parking lamps, interior
lamps, and alarm indicator light
q
honk the horn
q
prevent the engine from starting
NOTE:The factory installed Remote Entry System
has a PANIC feature that also chirps the vehicle
horn and flashes the interior/exterior lamps when
the PANIC button on the remote entry transmitter
is pushed.The PANIC alarm and the Anti-Theft
alarm are two separate features.Both the
anti-theft alarm and the PANIC feature can be
