Power Door Locks (If equipped)
[CF41900( ALL)12/95]
If your vehicle has power door locks, the
controls to lock the doors are on the trim panel
of the front door. When you close the doors
after you set the door locks, the doors remain
locked. If the power mechanism fails, the manual
door locks will override the power controls.
Pulling on a front inside door handle will
automatically override and release the front door
lock.

[CF59500( GV)05/96]
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.

The code is:

entry system turns on the interior lights for 25
seconds and the buttons on the keypad light up.
Do not push the buttons with a key, ballpoint
pen, pencil, or any other hard object. These
objects could damage the buttons.

permanent code that the dealership gave you.
Use your personal code in the same manner as
you would your original code.
*

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.
[CF64300( GV)12/95]
Your door lock system will lock and unlock the
vehicle doors to confirm successful erasure. The
system will now only respond to the permanent
code.

Battery Saver
*
[CF64500( GV)12/95]
When the ignition is turned off, the vehicle will
turn off battery voltage to the vehicle lamps as
follows:
*
[CF64600( GV)12/95]
q
Courtesy lights (lights which come on when a
door is opened): after 10 minutes.
[CF64700( GV)12/95]
q
Map/Glove compartment/Trunk/Hood
lamps: after 30 minutes.
[CF64800( GV)12/95]
q
Headlamps/Park lamps (only if headlamp
switch is left in Headlamp position): after 10
minutes.
*
[CF64900( GV)05/96]
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.

Replacing the batteries
*
[CF68600( GV)01/96]
The 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.
*
[CF68700( 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
and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating
range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your
vehicle.

[CF69000( ALL)02/96]
Replacement/additional transmitters
*
[CF69200( GV)12/95]

be purchased from your dealer.
*
[CF69300( GV)12/95]
To program replacement or additional
transmitters you must have all the transmitters
intended for use on your vehicle.
*
[CF69400( GV)12/95]

programmed transmitters, thus ALL must be
reprogrammed at the same time.
*
[CF69500( GV)12/95]
1. Enter the factory keyless entry code. Your
personal code will not allow programming.
*
[CF69700( GV)12/95]
