System Maintenance

Changing the Remote Control Battery:

The 12-volt alkaline battery supplied in your remote control should
last approximately one year, depending on usage. When the
battery begins to weaken, you will notice a decrease in range, or
the distance from your vehicle that your remote transmitter will
operate. Follow the instructions below to change the remote
transmitter battery.
1. Insert the edge of a coin into the slot at the top of the remote
control. Twist the coin to pry the remote control halves apart.
2. Remove the old battery and replace with a new one. Be sure to
observe the (+) and (-) signs in the battery compartment.
3. Carefully snap the case halves back together, then test the remote control.
It is not necessary to re-program the remote control after changing the
battery.

Adding Remote Controls to Your System:

The system has the ability to operate from up to eight (8) remote controls. Follow
these instructions to add a remote control to your system.
1. Open the driver's door.
2. Turn vehicle ignition on.
3. Press and hold programming/override button under the instrument panel.
After 15 seconds, the horn will chirp three (3) times. This indicates that the unit
has entered the remote control programming mode.
4. Release the programming/override button.
5. Press the
button on the remote control to be programmed.
The horn will sound once, indicating that the system has "learned" that remote
control.
6. Repeat step 5 for any additional remote controls.
7. Turn the vehicle ignition off to exit the programming mode. Test all remote controls
to ensure that they work properly.

Deleting Lost or Stolen Remote Control Transmitters from Your System:

Lost or stolen PowerCode remote control transmitters can be deleted two ways:
1) Reprogramming all eight transmitter code locations in memory;
2) If your vehicle is equipped with factory installed RKE, Pressing the vehicle's door
mounted "unlock" switch while the PowerCode system is in transmitter learn
mode, erases all learned transmitters. After erasing transmitters, all active
transmitters will have to be re-programmed to the PowerCode system (refer to the
instructions above).
Your Systems Programmable Operating Characteristics:
Your PowerCode system has several programmable settings such as Ignition
triggered door lock, Ignition triggered door unlock and automatic arming features
which can be changed to tailor your systems operation to your own personal desires
and/or requirements. If you are interested in changing any of these settings, call
1-800-FORD-KEY for information regarding the different programmable features and
the steps to change the settings.
