Keyless Entry Keypad

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.

The keyless entry keypad, located on the exterior of the driver door, provides a method for the customer to access their vehicle without a key or RKE transmitter. The keyless entry keypad feature:

locks all doors and inhibits the door lock control switch unlock capability after 20 seconds (if the inhibit feature is enabled).
unlocks only the driver door.
unlocks all doors.
programs/erases the customer key code.

The keyless entry keypad feature operates independently of the key position status, vehicle speed, or transmission position. When a keypad button is pressed, the keyless entry keypad buttons illuminate to provide better visibility. If LOCK ALL DOORS is entered or 5 seconds have elapsed since the last button press, the illumination is turned off.

Each vehicle equipped with an keyless entry keypad is programmed with a 5-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer through a wallet card in the owner literature package. In addition, this code is available through a scan tool. When entering codes each digit must be entered within 5 seconds of the previous button press.
