trunk Mercury Montego 2005 s User Guide

If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare brought to the dealership,
to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When armed, this system will respond if unauthorized entry is
attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the
turn signal lamps and will sound the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Either of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
•Press the
control on the remote entry transmitter.
When you press the lock control twice within three seconds on your
remote entry transmitter, the horn will chirp once to let you know that
all doors, the hood and the trunk are closed. If any of these are not
closed, the horn will chirp twice to warn you that a door, the hood or the
trunk is still open.
•Press the driver or passenger
interior door lock control while
the door is open, then close the
door.
•Press the 7•8 and 9•0
controls on the keyless entry pad
at the same time to lock the
doors (driver’s door must be
closed).
There is a 20 second countdown
when any of the above actions occur
before the vehicle becomes armed.
Each door, the hood or the trunk is
armed individually, and if any are
open, they must be closed for the
system to enter the 20 second
countdown.
The turn signal lamps will flash once
when all doors, the hood or the
trunk are closed indicating the vehicle is locked and entering the 20
second countdown.

Disarming the system
You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
•Unlock the doors by using your remote entry transmitter.
•Unlock the doors by using your keyless entry pad.
•Unlock the driver’s door with a key. Turn the key full forward (toward
the front of the vehicle) to make sure the alarm disarms.
•Turn ignition to the 3 (ON) position.
•Press the panic control on the remote entry transmitter. This will only
shut off the horn and parking lamps when the alarm is sounding. The
alarm system will still be armed.
Pressing the power door UNLOCK control within the 20 second
prearmed mode will return the vehicle to a disarmed state.
Triggering the anti-theft system
The armed system will be triggered if:
•Any door, the hood or the trunk is opened without using the door key,
keypad or the remote entry transmitter.

3. Remove the second wing nut that
secures the jack retention bracket
by turning it counterclockwise,
remove the jack kit from the

tabs of the jack mounting bracket in
the spare tire tub.
2. Securely close the wrench compartment and the jack bag using the
VELCROstrips.
3. Place the jack kit on the angled bracket in the spare tire tub, using
the locating tabs to position the jack correctly.

retention bracket through the eyelet
of the angled bracket and swing the

the jack in place, place the end of
the retention bracket over the

If you are stowing the flat tire,place the tire, with the tire’s valve
stem facing down, into the spare tire well and secure the wheel with the
large wing nut.
