Ford Escape: Securicode™ keyless entry system (if equipped)
You can use the keyless entry keypad to:
• lock or unlock the doors without using a key,
• activate or deactivate the Autolock and Autounlock feature if
equipped
• release the liftgate glass,
The keypad can be operated with the factory set 5–digit entry code; this code is located on the owner’s wallet card in the glove box and is available from your authorized dealer. You can also create your own 5–digit personal entry code.
When pressing the controls on the keyless entry keypad, press the middle of the controls to ensure a good activation.
