you like.

vehicle and can be used to program your personal code into the
system.
[FV05500(ALL)02/95]
For your convenience, one additional piece of tape with the
permanent code has been included in the glove box. Place this
additional piece of tape in a safe location where you can refer
to it when necessary. Do not put it in any location that is
accessible to unauthorized persons, since this would allow them
entrance to your vehicle.

Programming your Personal Code
[FV06250(ALL)02/95]

dealership gave you. The original dealer code will always work
in addition to your personal code.

To program your own code:
*
[FV06350(ALL)02/95]1.

second personal code will erase the first and replace it with
the new code.

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.

minutes if any of the following occurs:

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 towers, etc.). Typical
operating range will allow you to be up to 33 feet (10
meters) away from your vehicle.
