FORD 2006 Escape v.1 - Manual (Page 91)

The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
• Press the
control on the remote entry transmitter.
• Lock the doors with the key in the key cylinder.
• Open the driver’s door and press the power door lock control to lock
all the doors, and then close the door.
Note: The doors, liftgate and hood will arm individually, and if any of
them are open, they must be closed in order to be armed.
When you lock the vehicle using any of the methods above:
• the park/turn lamps will flash once to indicate the hood, each door
and the liftgate are closed.
• the park/turn lamps will not flash if the hood, any door or the liftgate
are open. Once all doors, hood and liftgate are closed, the park/turn
lamps will flash to confirm the alarm will be set.
When the vehicle is locked, the alarm is set after a 20–second arming
period.
When you press the control on the remote entry transmitter twice
within three seconds, the horn will chirp once to confirm the doors,
liftgate and hood are closed and locked, and the alarm is set.
