fan control, press the AUTO button. If you are operating in one of the override functions (S, MAX A/C, etc.), automatic fan control will continue unless you press the fan speed button. To return to automatic fan control, press the AUTO button. The EATC will return to automatic operation. If you want to return to any override function, press the button for that function. The fan speed will continue to be automatically controlled.

Manual override buttons

Your EATC has six buttons which allow you to make special selections. The buttons are located along the bottom edge of the EATC and allow you to determine where the air will be discharged. Pressing any override button changes the air discharge location only. It does not affect the ability of the system to control temperature or the fan speed. Return to fully automatic operation by pushing the AUTO button.

MAX A/C button

The MAX A/C feature allows for faster cooling because air is drawn from inside the vehicle. Using inside air causes the fan to sound louder which is normal for this selection. The display window will change to indicate MAX A/C and the airflow will be from the instrument panel registers. To exit, push AUTO or any of the other five manual override buttons.

Operating tips The following tips will help you to get the most satisfaction from your climate control system. In humid weather, select V F-DEF (front defrost) before driving. This will help to prevent windshield fogging. After a few minutes of operation, switch to any desired selection.

q Do not put objects under the front seats that interfere with the flow of air to the back seat area.

q Remove any snow, ice, or leaves from the air

intake area of your climate control system which could block the air intake. The intake area is located at the bottom of the windshield, under the hood at the passenger side rear corner. If the air conditioner performs well in MAX A/C but not in A/C, this may indicate that the MicronAir쑓 filter (if equipped) needs to be replaced.

MicronAir쑓 Air Filter (If equipped) Your vehicle may have an air filter that removes pollen and road dust from outside air before it is directed to the interior of the vehicle. For maintenance of this filter, see Servicing Your Taurus. Rear Window Defroster and Heated Side View Mirrors The defroster for the rear window clears frost, fog, or thin ice from both the inside and outside of the rear window and activates the heated side view mirrors. The button for the rear defroster and heated side view mirrors is on the instrument panel.

NOTE: When driving uphill, especially with a heavy load, you may notice your speed decreasing even if you have the cruise control set. If the speed drops more than 8 to 14 mph (13-23 km/h) it is normal for the automatic cruise control feature to be cancelled. You may need to use the accelerator pedal to help your vehicle maintain the selected speed when driving up steep grades.

Resetting the Cruise Control

To reset the cruise control to a lower speed, use one of the following procedures: q COAST — Press and hold the COAST switch.

Release the switch when the vehicle slows down to the desired speed.

q Lightly tap the brake pedal. When the vehicle

attains the desired speed, press the SET ACCEL switch and release it immediately.

q TAP-DOWN — Press and then quickly

release the COAST switch. Each time you “tap” the switch, the set speed will decrease by 1 mph (1.6 km/h). Multiple taps will cause the set speed to decrease in increments of 1 mph (1.6 km/h). For example, if the current set speed is 60 mph (96 km/h) 5 taps of the COAST switch will decrease the vehicle speed and SET it at 55 mph (88 km/h).

If vehicle speed is reduced below 30 mph (50 km/h) by any of the above methods, then you must manually accelerate to a speed over 30 mph (50 km/h) and reset the system.

Using the Keyless Entry System (If equipped)

If your vehicle has the keyless entry system, you can lock or unlock the vehicle doors without using a key. The buttons for the system are near the outside door handle on the driver’s side. See also Remote Entry System which follows this description.

Keyless entry buttons

When you bought your vehicle, you were given a computer code that operates the system for your vehicle. For your convenience, we have duplicated this code in two places.

The code is:

on your owner’s wallet card found in the glove compartment

taped to the computer module

When you use this entry system, the illuminated entry system turns on the interior lights for 25
seconds and the buttons on the keypad light up for 5 seconds. Do not push the buttons with a key, ballpoint pen, pencil or any other hard object. These objects could damage the buttons.

Programming your own entry code

You can program a personal code to unlock your vehicle with the keypad. This code does not replace the permanent code that the dealership gave you. Use your personal code in the same manner as you would your original code.

To program your own code:

1. Select five digits for your personal code.

2. Enter the permanent code that the dealership

gave you.

3. Within five seconds, press 1/2.

4. Within five seconds of pressing 1/2, enter

your personal code, pressing each digit within five seconds of the previous digit. The keyless entry system registers this second code. To open your vehicle, you can now use either code. The module remembers only one personal code at a time. Entering a second personal code will erase the first, replacing it with the new second one.

To erase your personal code:

1. Enter the original permanent code.

2. Press 1/2 within five seconds of Step 1.

3. Wait six seconds.

The keyless entry system automatically erases your personal code. The system will now only respond to the permanent code.

Do not set a code that presents the numbers in sequential order, such as 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/0. Studies show that people who idly press the buttons usually press a sequential pattern. Also, do not select a code that uses the same button five times. Thieves can easily figure out these types of codes.

Unlocking the doors with the keyless entry system

You must unlock the driver’s door before you unlock any of the other doors. If you let more than five seconds pass between pressing numbers, the system shuts down, and you have to enter the code again. The system has shut down if the keypad light is out. If the keyless entry system does not work properly, use the key or transmitter(s) to lock and unlock the doors.

1. To unlock the driver’s door, enter the factory

code or your personal code. All codes have five numbers. After you press the fifth number, the driver’s door unlocks.

2. To unlock the passenger’s door(s) and

liftgate (wagon), press the 3/4 button within five seconds of unlocking the driver’s door or re-enter the code to open the driver’s door, then press 3/4.

3. To open the trunk (sedan) or unlock the

liftgate (wagon), enter the five-digit factory code, then press the 5/6 button within 5
seconds.

Arming and Disarming the Alarm System with Remote Entry

Your Remote Entry System will automatically arm the factory installed Anti-Theft System when the doors are locked, and automatically disarm it when the doors are unlocked. The remote will also reset the anti-theft alarm (when the driver’s door is unlocked or the PANIC button is pressed on a programmed remote entry transmitter) if it was triggered.

The remote entry system may not arm and disarm non-factory installed anti-theft systems.

Replacing the batteries

The remote entry transmitter is powered by two coin type three-volt lithium 2016
batteries (included) that should last for several years of normal use. If you notice a significant decrease in operating range, the batteries should be replaced. Replacement batteries can be purchased at most pharmacies, watch stores or at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.

NOTE: The operating range of the remote

entry system can also be affected by weather conditions (such as very cold temperatures) or structures around the vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your vehicle.

The transmitter can be snapped apart to replace the batteries by twisting a thin coin between the two halves of the transmitter. DO NOT TAKE THE FRONT PART OF THE TRANSMITTER APART. When installing the new batteries, be sure to place the positive (+) side down as marked. Snap the two halves back together.

Replacing the batteries Replacing lost transmitters In the event a transmitter is lost, you should take all your vehicle’s transmitters to your dealer to have the remote entry system deprogrammed for the lost transmitter. This is necessary to prevent further unauthorized use of the lost transmitter. You can also purchase additional transmitters (up to 4 transmitters can be used) from your dealer. You will need to take all your transmitters to the dealer so they can program them to the remote entry system all at the same time.

q Opening a door and pressing the power door

lock button to lock the doors.

q Turning the driver’s or front passenger’s door key to the LOCK position to centrally lock all doors (with the doors open or closed).

If a door or liftgate (wagon) is open, the anti-theft system is prearmed and waiting for all doors to close. The THEFT inidcator in the instrument panel will light continuously while the system is prearmed.

Once all doors and liftgate (wagon) are closed, if any were open, the system will begin a 30
second countdown to become armed. The 30
second countdown allows people who may still be in the vehicle time to exit without triggering the alarm. The THEFT indicator will glow steadily until the system is armed. When the system is armed, the THEFT indicator will begin to flash with short flashes every 2 seconds until the system is triggered or disarmed.

Remember, all doors and liftgate (wagon) must be fully closed for the anti-theft system to arm. If a door or liftgate (wagon) has been left open or ajar, and you press the remote entry transmitter twice to confirm the doors are locked, two short horn chirps will warn you that the anti-theft system is not arming.

The anti-theft system is designed to work with the factory installed remote entry system. It may not work with other remote entry systems.

When you get a single horn chirp by pressing the LOCK button twice within 5 seconds on your remote entry transmitter, you can be assured that all doors are locked and the anti-theft system is arming.

minutes 45 seconds after the system is triggered. It will trigger again if another intrusion occurs. Coded Key Anti-Theft System If your vehicle is equipped with the coded key anti-theft system, you can only use an electronically coded key to start the vehicle. During each vehicle start sequence, the coded key is “read” by the anti-theft system. If the key’s ID code matches that in the anti-theft system, the vehicle is enabled to start. If the key’s ID code does not match the anti-theft system, or if no coded key is detected, then the vehicle is not able to start. Your vehicle was equipped with two electronically coded keys.

key. Additional spare keys, maximum of 14, can be purchased either through your dealership or selected retailers. Be sure to purchase only coded keys with a Ford or Mercury logo on it to ensure proper functionality. If both supplied keys are lost or stolen or only one key has been lost and you want to ensure that key will not start the vehicle, the vehicle must be taken to the dealership for re-initialization. (All keys must be brought to the dealer, if any.) THEFT indicator The indicator provides system proveout and operating status. The system activates the indicator when the ignition switch is placed in the ON or START position. This indicator helps to determine possible fault conditions and/or normal operating proveout. The system will illuminate the indicator for two (2) seconds then go out to acknowledge normal operating conditions. If the indicator does not illuminate at key ON or flashes, have the system serviced. Spare Key Programming Procedure Two electronically coded keys were supplied with your vehicle, use one of these with the procedure below: q Using a coded key that you can start your

engine with, turn the ignition from the ON to the OFF position.

q Within 15 seconds, insert a new key into the

ignition and turn it to ON or START. The vehicle does not have to be started.

If the key has been coded, the theft indicator will illuminate for two seconds. The key can then be used to start the vehicle. Repeat until all chosen keys have been coded (max=16).
