FORD 2003 Escape v.1 - Manual (Page 66)

The remote entry system allows you
to lock or unlock all vehicle doors
without a key. The remote feature
will only operate when the ignition
is in the OFF or ACC position.
If there is a problem with the
remote entry system make sure to
take ALL remote entry
transmitters with you to the
dealership, this will aid in
troubleshooting the problem.
Unlocking the doors
1. Press and release to unlock the driver’s door. Note: The interior
lamps will illuminate, if the control on the overhead lamp is in the DOOR
position, the flashers will flash twice, and the perimeter alarm system (if
equipped) will deactivate.
2. Press and release again within three seconds to unlock the
passenger doors, the liftgate and liftgate glass.
The remote entry system activates the illuminated entry feature. This
feature turns on all the interior lamps for 30 seconds or until the ignition
is turned to the RUN position. If the dome lamp control (if equipped) is
in the off position, the illuminated entry feature will not work.
The inside lights will not turn off if:
• they have been turned on using the dome lamp control or
• any door is open.
The battery saver feature will turn off the interior lamps 40 minutes after
the ignition is turned to the OFF position.
