2. Unlock the doors by using your keyless entry pad.
3. Unlock the driver’s door with a key. Turn the key full forward (toward the front of the vehicle) to make sure the alarm disarms.

5. Press the panic control on the remote entry transmitter. This will only shut off the horn and parking lamps when the alarm is sounding. The alarm system will still be armed.

Ford Five Hundred Owner's Manual There is a 20 second countdown when any of the above actions occur before the vehicle becomes armed. Each door, the hood or the trunk is armed individually, and if any are open, they must be closed for the system to enter the 20 second countdown. The turn signal lamps will flash once when all doors, the hood or the trunk are closed indicating the vehicle is locked and entering the 20 second countdown.

Automatic disarming The vehicle is disarmed immediately after the ignition is turned from the 1 (LOCK) to the 3 (RUN) position. The theft indicator will illuminate for three seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your authorized dealer.

Ford Five Hundred Manual Replacement keys If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be programmed. Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys.
