FORD 2000 Ranger - Manual (Page 67)

Illuminated entry
The interior lamps illuminate when the remote entry system is used to
unlock the door(s) or sound the personal alarm.
The system automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when the ignition
is turned to the RUN or ACC position. The dome lamp control (if
equipped) must not be set to the OFF position for the illuminated entry
system to operate.
The inside lights will not turn off if:
• they have been turned on with the dimmer control or
• any door is open.
The battery saver will shut off the interior lamps 40 minutes after the
ignition has been turned to the OFF position.
SECURILOCK
ி
PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The SecuriLock
௢ passive anti-theft system provides an advanced level of
vehicle theft protection. Your vehicle’s engine can only be started with
the two special SecuriLock
௢ electronically coded keys provided with
your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the SecuriLock
௢ key is
read by the SecuriLock
௢ passive anti-theft system. If the SecuriLock௢
key identification code matches the code stored in the SecuriLock
௢
passive anti-theft system, the vehicle’s engine is allowed to start. If the
SecuriLock
௢ key identification code does not match the code stored in
the system or if a SecuriLock
௢ key is not detected (vehicle theft
situation), the vehicle’s engine will not operate.
If there is any potential SecuriLock
௢ anti-theft problem with your
vehicle, ensure ALL SecuriLock
௢ keys for that vehicle are brought to
the dealership, to aid in troubleshooting.
The SecuriLock
௢ passive anti-theft system is not compatible with
aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Large metallic
objects, electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase
gasoline or similar items, or a second key on the same key ring as the
PATS ignition key may cause vehicle starting concern and record DTC’s
under certain conditions. If present, you need to keep these objects from
touching the PATS ignition key while starting the engine. These objects
and devices cannot damage the PATS ignition key, but can cause a
momentary concern if they are too close to the key during engine start.
If a problem occurs, turn ignition OFF and restart the engine with all
