Illuminated Entry; Automatic Arming; Automatic Disarming - Ford 2001 Ranger Owner's Manual

Controls and features

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 45 minutes after the
ignition has been turned to the OFF position.
SECURILOCK PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
SecuriLock passive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system prevents the engine from being started unless a
coded key programmed to your vehicle is used.
The SecuriLock passive anti-theft system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
