Illuminated Entry; Replacing Lost Transmitters - Mercury Sable 1998 Owner's Manual

Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.

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.

Replacing lost transmitters

Take all your vehicle's
transmitters to your
dealer for
reprogramming if:
• a transmitter is lost
or
• you want to
purchase additional
transmitters (up to four may be programmed).
To reprogram the transmitters, place the key in the
ignition and turn from OFF to ON five times in rapid
succession (within 10 seconds). After doors
lock/unlock, press any control on all transmitters (up
to four). When completed, turn the ignition to OFF.
