Locks and Security driver door key cylinder, the system will monitor the doors, trunk, and hood but the motion sensing and vehicle incline sensing will not arm. Do not arm the interior motion detection system if movement within the vehicle is likely to occur. Additionally, do not arm the vehicle incline sensing system when the vehicle is in transport. For proper operation of the interior motion detection system, ensure all windows are closed prior to arming the system. This will help prevent accidental alarm activation due to external influences and ensure proper interior motion detection. Additionally, the interior motion sensing system will not arm if either door or the trunk is ajar. If there is any potential active anti-theft problem with your vehicle, ensure ALL remote entry transmitters are taken to an authorized dealer to aid in troubleshooting. Arming the system When armed, the active anti-theft system is designed to notify you of an unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry or towing occurs, the system will flash the turn signal lamps and interior lamps and sounds the security horn. The system is ready to arm whenever the key is out of the ignition. Any of the following actions will arm the alarm system: • Press the remote transmitter lock control one time to arm the system. • Lock all doors using the interior power lock switch while the driver or passenger door is open and then becomes closed. • Lock the driver door with the key in the key lock cylinder (this will not however arm the interior motion or vehicle incline sensing systems or lock the passenger door). If all the closures (doors, trunk, hood) are closed, the turn signal lamps will flash once. If any closure is not properly closed the parklamps will not flash. Note: Locking the driver door with the key does not lock the passenger door. Use the power door lock control or manually lock the passenger door to ensure the vehicle is properly secured. The system will wait 20 seconds after locking before triggering an alarm. After the 20-second pre-arm phase, the power door unlock control is disabled (for more information, refer to Power door trim switch inhibit section earlier in this chapter) to further protect your vehicle. 95 2008 05+ Mustang (197) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
