Keyless Entry Keypad

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.

The keypad does not operate if the driver door is ajar.

The keypad, located in the exterior of the driver door, provides a method for the customer to access the vehicle without a key or RKE transmitter. The keyless entry keypad feature:

locks all doors.
unlocks only the driver door.
unlocks all doors.
programs/erases the customer key code.
enables/disables autolocking and auto-unlocking.
arms/disarms the perimeter alarm.
releases the luggage compartment lid latch on vehicles without a power luggage compartment.
opens/closes the power luggage compartment.
Recalls the memory seat position associated with a particular customer key code (when enabled).

The keypad feature operates independently of the key position status, the vehicle speed, or the transmission position. When a keypad button is pressed, the keypad buttons illuminate to provide better visibility. If LOCK ALL DOORS is entered or 5 seconds have elapsed since the last button press, the illumination is turned off.

Each vehicle equipped with a keypad is programmed with a 5-digit entry code. This code is provided to the customer through a wallet card. In addition, this code is available through a scan tool and is also printed on the DDM label. When entering codes, each digit must be entered within 5 seconds of the previous button press.
