Arming The System - Ford Thunderbird Owner's Manual

disable the starting circuit to prevent the
vehicle from being started
To tell the difference between a PANIC alarm
and a triggered Anti-theft alarm:
only the Anti-Theft alarm will cause the
alarm indicator lamp (located in the
instrument cluster) to flash on and off.
only the Anti-Theft alarm will disable the
start circuit so that the vehicle can not be
started.
the Anti-Theft alarm will not stop by pushing
the PANIC control on the Remote Entry
transmitter.
For more information on the PANIC alarm, see
Remote Entry System in the Index.

Arming the system

To arm the system, do the following steps in
sequence:
1. Remove the key from the ignition. The hood
must be closed to arm the system.
At this point, the anti-theft system automatically
monitors the ignition keylock cylinder. If the
lock cylinder is forcibly removed, the anti-theft
alarm system will trigger. To arm the remaining
portion of the system, follow steps 2-4.
2. Open any door. The alarm indicator light
will start flashing to remind you to arm the
system.
3. Lock the doors by using the power door
lock switch or by pressing the remote entry
transmitter LOCK control.
The alarm indicator will now glow steadily.
