Keys and Remote Control PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The remote control allows you to: • remotely lock or unlock the vehicle doors • remotely open the trunk • remotely start or stop the engine (if equipped) • arm and disarm the anti-theft system (if equipped) • activate the panic alarm • activate the global windows (if equipped). 57 Intelligent Access (If Equipped) Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without actively using a key or remote control. You can use this feature at the front doors or at the liftgate/trunk. You can activate the intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your intelligent access keys within range of the front doors or the liftgate/trunk. GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Note: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. The term IC before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10 meters). Vehicles with the remote start feature will have a greater range. A decrease in operating range could be caused by: • weather conditions • nearby radio towers • structures around your vehicle • other vehicles parked next to your vehicle. The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by other short-distance radio transmissions, for example amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm systems. If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key. 2013 Taurus Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing, December 2012 USA (fus)
