Alarm

Perimeter alarm

Perimeter alarm is an optional feature.

The perimeter alarm acts as a deterrent against unauthorised persons
opening the cabin, passenger area doors, bonnet or removing the
audio system. This is also operational when removing a trailer (if a Ford
trailer-tow kit is fitted).

Arming the perimeter alarm

The alarm is fully armed by …

Centrally locking the vehicle using the lock button on the remote key

The alarm is armed in reduce guard mode by …

Centrally locking the vehicle using the key in one of the door locks

In reduced guard mode, trailer detection is disabled.

Once the vehicle is locked, the 20 second arming delay begins. This
allows any open doors or the bonnet to be closed without triggering
the alarm. After 20 seconds the alarm arms.

Alarm

Triggering the perimeter alarm

The alarm is triggered when …

• Any door is opened

• The bonnet is opened

• An attempt is made to start the vehicle without a valid key

• An attempt is made to remove the radio

• A trailer that was connected at the time of arming is disconnected

(not reduced guard)

When the alarm is triggered, the alarm horns sound for 30 seconds and
the hazard lights flash for 5 minutes. If the trigger event has been
removed, the alarm re-arms. If a trigger event still exists, the alarm
horns will sound again.

Disarming the perimeter alarm

The alarm can be disarmed and silenced by…

• Unlocking the vehicle using the unlock button or cargo unlock
button on the remote key

• Unlocking the vehicle with the key

• Turning on the ignition with the correct key
