Activating The Remote Personal Alarm; Replacing The Batteries - Ford Thunderbird Owner's Manual

Activating the remote personal alarm

If you wish to activate the remote personal
alarm, press the PANIC control. This will honk
the horn and flash the parking lamps and tail
lamps for approximately two minutes and
forty-five seconds. You can turn it OFF by
pressing the PANIC control again or by turning
the ignition key to the RUN position.
When you use the remote entry UNLOCK,
TRUNK or PANIC controls, the illuminated
entry system turns on the interior lights for 25
seconds. You can turn these lights off with the
LOCK control or by turning the ignition to the
RUN position. The interior lights will not turn
off if you have turned them on manually or if a
door is open.

Replacing the Batteries

The remote entry transmitter is powered by two
coin type three-volt lithium 2016
batteries (included) that should last for several
years of normal use. If you notice a significant
decrease in operating range, the batteries should
be replaced. Replacement batteries can be
purchased at most pharmacies, watch stores or
at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
NOTE: The operating range of the remote
entry system can also be affected by
weather conditions (such as very cold
temperatures) or structures around the
vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio
and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating
range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your
vehicle.
