Anti-Scan Feature

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

To provide added security, the keyless entry keypad is disabled for 1 minute after 35 button presses without a valid entry code being entered. The keypad flashes during this 1-minute mode with all functionality disabled except for 7/8 and 9/0 still being allowed to lock the vehicle.

Anti-scan is turned off after 1 minute of keypad inactivity or if the doors are electronically unlocked using an RKE transmitter or a door lock control switch.
