Battery Saver
[CF44900(ALL)01/96]
When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the vehicle will turn
off battery voltage to the interior lamps after 45 minutes. (The
exterior lamps are not affected.) The purpose is to minimize
extended battery drain if the lights have inadvertently been left
on or if a door or the glove box is not completely closed.
However, the timer will be immediately reset to another 45
minutes if any of the following occurs:
[CF45000(ALL)01/96]
n
any door is open or closed
[CF45100(ALL)01/96]
n
the front door handle is lifted (for Illuminated Entry only)
[CF45200(ALL)01/96]
n
taking the key IN or OUT of the ignition switch
[CF45300(ALL)01/96]

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.
