Arming The System - Ford 1996 Mustang Manual

NOTE: The factory installed Remote Entry
System has a PANIC feature that also
chirps the vehicle horn and flashes the
interior/exterior lamps when the
PANIC button on the remote entry
transmitter is pushed. The PANIC
alarm and the Anti-Theft alarm are two
separate features. Both the anti-theft
alarm and the PANIC feature can be
active at the same time.
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 button 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.
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 button.
The alarm indicator will now glow steadily.
