Activating the remote personal alarm
[CF46700(ALL)01/96]
If you wish to activate the remote personal alarm, press the
PANIC button. This will honk the horn and flash the tail lamps
for approximately two minutes and forty-five seconds. You can
turn it OFF by pressing the PANIC button again on the same
transmitter or by turning the ignition key to the RUN position.
If the alarm does not turn off, move the transmitter closer to the
vehicle and press the button again.
[CF46800(ALL)01/96]
When you use the remote entry UNLOCK, 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.
[CF46900(ALL)07/96]
Replacing the batteries
*
[CF47000(ALL)05/96]
The remote 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.
*
[CF47100(ALL)01/96]
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.
