FORD 2002 Mustang - Manual (Page 96)

Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed
immediately after
switching the ignition
to the 3 (OFF)
position. The
THEFT
indicator in the
instrument cluster will
flash every two
seconds when the vehicle is armed.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 4 (ON) position with a
coded key disarms the vehicle. The
THEFT
indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then
go out. If the
THEFT indicator stays on for an
extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the
system serviced by your dealership or a qualified
technician.
Key information
Your vehicle is supplied with two coded keys. Only
a coded key will start your vehicle. Spare coded
keys can be purchased from your dealership. Your
dealership can program your key or you can “do it
yourself.” Refer to Programming spare keys.
The following items may prevent the vehicle from
starting:
• Large metallic objects
• Electronic devices on the key chain that can be
used to purchase gasoline or similar items
• A second key on the same key ring as the coded
key
If any of these items are present, you need to keep
these objects from touching the coded key while
starting the engine. These objects and devices
cannot damage the coded key, but can cause a
momentary “no start” condition if they are too close
to the key during engine start. If a problem occurs,
