Locks and Security The remote entry system allows you to open the trunk while the ignition is in any position. However, if the ignition is in the ON position and the gearshift is in D (Drive), the trunk will only open if the vehicle is moving 5 km/h (3 mph) or slower. Replacing the battery The remote entry transmitter uses one coin type three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or equivalent. The typical operating range for your remote entry transmitter is approximately 10 meters (33 feet). A decrease in the operating range could be caused by: • weather conditions, • nearby radio towers, • structures around the vehicle and • other vehicles parked next to the vehicle. To replace the battery: 1. Twist a thin coin between the two halves of the remote entry transmitter near the key ring. DO NOT TAKE THE FRONT PART OF THE REMOTE ENTRY TRANSMITTER APART. 2. Remove the old battery. 3. Insert the new battery. Refer to the diagram inside the remote entry transmitter for the correct orientation of the battery. 4. Snap the two halves back together. Note: Replacement of the battery will not cause the remote transmitter to become deprogrammed from your vehicle. The remote transmitter should operate normally after battery replacement. Replacing lost remote entry transmitters If you would like to have your remote entry transmitter reprogrammed because you lost one, or would like to buy additional remote entry transmitters, you can either reprogram them yourself, or take all remote entry transmitters to your authorized dealer for reprogramming. How to reprogram your remote entry transmitters You must have all remote entry transmitters (maximum of four) available before beginning this procedure. 118 2003 Town Car (tow) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
