FORD 1998 Escort - Manual (Page 45)

If the system is arming with the
doors open, the THEFT light will
stay illuminated until all the doors
are closed and then illuminate for
30 seconds and begin flashing.
When an unauthorized entry
occurs, the activated system will:
• flash the parking lamps and the
THEFT light
• sound the horn
The flashing parklamps and the
honking horn automatically shut
off after about three minutes and
will remain off unless another
unauthorized entry is attempted.
