trunk Mercury Sable 2005 s User Guide

Disarming the system
You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
•Unlock the doors by pressing the
control on your remote entry
transmitter.
•Unlock the doors by using the keyless entry pad.
•Unlock the doors with a key. Turn the key full travel (toward the front
of the vehicle) to ensure the alarm disarms.
•Turn the ignition to the 4 (ON) position.
•Press the
control on the remote entry transmitter. This will only
shut the horn off when the alarm is sounding; the alarm system will
still be armed.
Triggering the anti-theft system
The armed system will be triggered if:
•Any door, liftgate (wagon) or the hood is opened without using the
key or the remote entry transmitter.
•The trunk key cylinder is forced.

To help prevent the vehicle from moving when you change a tire,
be sure the parking brake is set, then block (in both directions)
the wheel that is diagonally opposite (other side and end of the
vehicle) to the tire being changed.
If the vehicle slips off the jack, you or someone else could be
seriously injured.
2. Place gearshift lever in P (Park),
turn engine OFF, block the
diagonally opposite wheel, then
remove the spare tire, jack and lug
wrench.
•In the sedan, these are located in
the trunk cargo area storage
compartment.
•In the wagon, they are stored in
the left side rear trim panel for
the temporary spare and in the
floor cargo area storage
compartment for the full size
spare.
