alarm, press the PANIC button. This will honk
the horn and flash the low beam headlamps and

forty-five seconds. You can turn it OFF by
pressing the PANIC button again or by turning
the ignition key to the RUN position.

When you use the remote entry UNLOCK,
TRUNK or PANIC buttons, the illuminated entry
system turns on the interior lights for 25
seconds. You can turn these lights off with the
LOCK button or by turning the ignition to the
RUN position. The interior lights will not turn
off if you have turned them on manually or if a
door is open.

The remote entry transmitter 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.
