For trucks with a swing away spare tire carrier,
you must release the carrier and swing it out of
the way before lowering the tailgate. See the
following illustration.
Bronco tailgate operation
Latch lockout system for the tailgate
The tailgate is equipped with a latch lockout
system which prevents you from opening it
unless the glass is completely down. The lockout
also prevents the glass from being raised unless
the tailgate is completely latched in the closed
position.
R
WARNING
When driving your vehicle make sure that
the tailgate door and window are closed
to prevent exhaust fumes from being
drawn into the vehicle. This will also
prevent passengers and cargo from falling
out.
121
If you must drive with the rear window open:
❑
Adjust your climate control system to force
outside air into your vehicle.
❑
Completely open the outside air vents if your
vehicle is so equipped.
❑
You can prevent the tailgate from accidentally
opening by raising the glass one inch from
the fully opened position.
Power Door Locks (If equipped)
The power door lock switches are located in the
front doors. To lock all doors push the switch
marked L. To unlock all doors push the switch
marked U.
The manual door locks will override the power
door lock controls.

Remote Entry System
(If equipped)
If your vehicle has the remote entry system, you
can lock or unlock the vehicle doors without
using a key. The remote also has a personal
alarm feature. The buttons for the system are
located on the two hand held transmitters that
came with your vehicle.
122
The system will work with up to four
transmitters. Your vehicle came with two
transmitters. Additional transmitters can be
ordered from your dealer.
The remote entry features only operate with the
ignition in the OFF position.

Remote entry personal alarm
If you wish to activate the remote entry system
personal alarm, press the PANIC button. This
will honk the horn and flash the lights for
123
approximately 2 minutes 45 seconds. You can
turn it OFF by pressing the PANIC button again
from the same transmitter or by turning the
ignition to the ON or ACCESSORY position.
When you use the remote entry UNLOCK or
PANIC buttons, the illuminated entry system
turns on the vehicle’s interior lights for 25
seconds. You can turn these lights off with the
remote entry LOCK button or by turning the
ignition to the ON or ACCESSORY position.
Replacing the batteries
The remote entry transmitter is powered by two
coin type three-volt lithium 2016
batteries (included) that should last for several
years of normal use. If you notice a significant
decrease in operating range, the batteries should
be replaced. Replacement batteries can be
purchased at most pharmacies, watch stores or
at your Ford or Lincoln-Mercury dealer.
NOTE:
The operating range of the remote
entry system can also be affected by
weather conditions (such as very cold
temperatures) or structures around the
vehicle (buildings, other vehicles, radio
and TV towers, etc.). Typical operating
range will allow you to be up to 33
feet (10 meters) away from your
vehicle.
