2006 FORD MUSTANG turn signal

Arming the system
When armed, the active anti-theft system is designed to notify you of an
unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry or towing occurs, the
system will flash the turn signal lamps and interior lamps and sounds the
security horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is out of the ignition. Any
of the following actions will arm the alarm system:
•Press the remote transmitter lock control one time to arm the system.
•Lock all doors using the interior power lock switch while the driver or
passenger door is open and then becomes closed.
•Lock the driver door with the key in the key lock cylinder (this will
nothowever arm the interior motion or vehicle incline sensing
systems or lock the passenger door).
If all the closures (doors, trunk, hood) are closed, the turn signal lamps
will flash once. If any closure is not properly closed the parklamps will
not flash.Note:Locking the driver door with the key does not lock the
passenger door. Use the power door lock control or manually lock the
passenger door to ensure the vehicle is properly secured.
The system will wait 20 seconds after locking before triggering an alarm.
After the 20–second pre-arm phase, the power door unlock control is
disabled (for more information, refer toPower door trim switch inhibit
section earlier in this chapter) to further protect your vehicle.
Disarming the system
You can disarm the active anti-theft system by any of the following
actions:
•Unlock the doors by using the remote entry transmitter.
•Unlock the driver’s door with the key in the door lock cylinder.
•Turn the ignition to the 3 (ON) position with a programmed coded
ignition key.
Note:Unlocking the trunk inhibits the motion and tilt sensing systems,
but the system continues to monitor the doors and hood. Once the trunk
becomes closed the motion and tilt sensing systems will re-arm.

Trailer lamps
Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running
lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working.
Do not splice into the vehicle lamp wiring for trailer lamps. Your
vehicle uses an advanced electronic module to control and
monitor your vehicle lamps. Splicing into the wiring or attaching
wiring to the vehicle bulb. may DISABLE the rear vehicle lamps
or cause them not to function properly.
See your authorized dealer for proper instructions and equipment for
hooking up trailer lamps.
Driving while you tow
When towing a trailer:
•Turn off the speed control. The speed control may shut off
automatically when you are towing on long, steep grades.
•Consult your local motor vehicle speed regulations for towing a trailer.
•Shift out of D (Overdrive) into D (Overdrive cancelled) or a lower
gear (3, 2, or 1) when towing up or down steep hills. This will
eliminate excessive downshifting and upshifting for optimum fuel
economy and transmission cooling.
•Anticipate stops and brake gradually.
Servicing after towing
If you tow a trailer for long distances, your vehicle will require more
frequent service intervals. Refer to yourscheduled maintenance
informationfor more information.
Trailer towing tips
•Practice turning, stopping and backing up before starting on a trip to
get the feel of the vehicle trailer combination. When turning, make
wider turns so the trailer wheels will clear curbs and other obstacles.
•Allow more distance for stopping with a trailer attached.
•
The trailer tongue weight should be 10–15% of the loaded trailer weight.
•After you have traveled 50 miles (80 km), thoroughly check your
hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts.
•To aid in engine/transmission cooling and A/C efficiency during hot
weather while stopped in traffic, place the gearshift lever in P (Park)
(automatic transmission) or N (Neutral) (manual transmissions).
