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

[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.

Remote Entry System
(If equipped)
*
[CF65100( ALL)05/96]

has a personal alarm feature. The controls for
the system are located on the hand held
transmitter(s) that came with your vehicle.
*

The system will work with up to four
transmitters. Your vehicle came with two
transmitters. Additional transmitters can be
ordered from your dealer.

The remote entry features only operate with the
transmission in P (Park) or N (Neutral).

Activating the remote personal alarm
*

alarm, press the PANIC control. This will honk

pressing the PANIC control again or by turning
the ignition key to the RUN position.
[CF67400( ALL)05/96]
When you use the remote entry UNLOCK,
TRUNK or PANIC controls, the illuminated
entry system turns on the interior lights for 25
seconds. You can turn these lights off with the
LOCK control 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.

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.

NOTE: The Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) or in Canada the
Canadian Radio Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) regulates the use
of mobile communications systems Ð
such as two-way radios, telephones,
and theft alarms Ð that are equipped
with radio transmitters. Any such
equipment installed in your vehicle
should comply with FCC regulation
and should be installed only by a
qualified technician.

[AC01600( ALL)05/96]
NOTE: Mobile communications systems may
harm the operation of your vehicle,
particularly if they are not properly
designed for automotive use or are not
properly installed. For example, when
operated, such systems may cause the
engine to stumble or stall. In addition,
such systems may themselves be
damaged or their operation affected by
operating your vehicle. (Citizens band
[CB] transceivers, garage door openers,
and other transmitters whose power
output is 5 watts or less will not
ordinarily affect your vehicle's
operation.)

[AC01700( ALL)05/96]
NOTE: Because we have no control over the
installation, design, or manufacture of
such systems, Ford cannot assume
responsibility for any adverse effects or
damage that may result if you use this
equipment.
