Description And Operation: Anti-Theft
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln MKX and 2010 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) key is a standard Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) key with a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter incorporated into the keyhead. For PATS
, refer to
ANTI-THEFT - PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS)
. For the RKE
system, refer to
HANDLES, LOCKS, LATCHES AND ENTRY SYSTEMS
.
NOTE:
The perimeter anti-theft system is only available on the MKX. The feature is not available on the Edge.
NOTE:
The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
NOTE:
If an unauthorized vehicle entry is through the driver door, the perimeter alarm does not activate for 12 seconds. If an unauthorized entry is through the passenger doors (or hood), the perimeter alarm activates immediately.
The perimeter anti-theft system consists of the following:
- Door ajar switches (part of the door latch)
- Door disarm switch (part of the driver door latch)
- Exterior lamps
- Hood switch
- Horn
- Key-in-ignition switch
- Keyless entry keypad
- IKT key
- SJB
The perimeter anti-theft feature is controlled by the SJB . The alarm can be armed by using 1 of 3 commands:
- Pressing the LOCK button on the IKT key
- Pressing the door lock control switch to lock with the accompanying door open, then closing the door
- Pressing the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons simultaneously on the keyless entry keypad
The perimeter alarm can be disarmed only by:
- pressing the UNLOCK button on the IKT key.
- turning the door lock cylinder to the unlock position.
- using a valid programmed key to turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
- entering the correct vehicle unlock code on the keyless entry keypad.
The perimeter alarm can be deactivated (not disarmed), by pressing the PANIC button on the RKE transmitter. This action does not disarm the alarm, but stops the alarm from activation (horn sounding and turn signal lamps flashing). The perimeter alarm continues to be armed.
