Anti-Scan Feature
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup. 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 pressing the button 35 times without a valid entry code being entered. The keypad flashes during this 1-minute mode with all functionality disabled except for buttons 7/8 and 9/0 still being allowed to lock the vehicle.
Anti-scan is turned off after any of the following events:
- One minute of keyless entry keypad inactivity has elapsed
- The RKE transmitter UNLOCK button is pressed
- The key is turned to the RUN position
