Anti-Theft - Perimeter, With Intelligent Access (IA): Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The perimeter alarm system protects the vehicle from unauthorized entry by sounding the horn and flashing both the turn signals and courtesy lights when an unauthorized entry occurs. The horn and lights are active for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the horn stops sounding, but the lights continue to flash for up to 5 minutes.
The panic alarm operates similar to the perimeter alarm, but is only controlled by the panic button on a RKE transmitter. Refer to SYSTEM OPERATION for information on the PANIC ALARM operation.
