FORD 1998 Taurus - Manual (Page 50)

KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
With the keyless entry
keypad, you can:
• lock or unlock the
vehicle doors and liftgate (wagons) without using
the key.
• arm and disarm the perimeter alarm system
(if equipped)
See also Remote entry system and Perimeter
alarm system in this chapter for more information.
Your vehicle has a factory-set 5–digit code that
operates the keyless entry system. You can also
program your own 5–digit personal entry code.
The factory-set code is located:
• on the owner’s wallet card in the glove
compartment
• taped to the computer module
When pressing the controls on the keyless entry
keypad, press the middle of the controls to ensure a
good activation.
Programming your own personal entry code
1. Enter the factory-set code (keypad will illuminate
when pressed).
2. Press the 1/2 control
within five seconds of
step 1.
3. Enter your personal
5 digit code. Enter
each digit within five
seconds of the previous one.
Do not set a code that includes five of the same
number or presents them in sequential order.
Thieves can easily figure out these types of codes.
