FORD 2003 Escape v.4 - Manual (Page 67)

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

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

The battery saver feature will turn off the interior lamps 30 minutes after
the ignition is turned to the OFF position.
