Anti-Scan Feature

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mercury Mariner and 2007 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To provide added security, the keyless entry keypad is disabled for 1 minute after 35 button presses without a valid entry code being entered. The keyless entry keypad flashes during this 1-minute mode with all functionality disabled except for 7/8 and 9/0 still being allowed to lock the vehicle.

Anti-scan is turned off after 1 minute of keypad inactivity.
