Lincoln 1996 Continental, Owner'S Manual

Page: 113 / 321

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 anct
a triggered Anti-Theft alarm:
only the Anti-Theft alarm will cause the alarm
indicator light (located in the center of the
instrument cluster) to flash on and off.
only the Anti-Theft alarm will prevent the
engine from starting.
For more information on the PANIC alarm, see
Remote Entry System in the Index.
Arming the system
To arm the system, do the following four steps in
sequence.
1. Remove the key from the ignition.
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, pressing the remote entry transmitter
LOCK button or pressing the last two
buttons (7/8, 9/0) of the keyless entry
keypad.
The alarm indicator will now glow steadily.
4. Close all doors. The alarm indicator light
will then remain on steadily for
approximately 30 more seconds and then go
