Perimeter Alarm Activation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The perimeter alarm has a 12-second delay when the driver door is unlocked using a key in the door lock cylinder and then opened. During the delay, a chime sounds and "TO STOP ALARM START VEHICLE" is displayed in the message center. If the perimeter alarm is not disarmed within the 12-second delay, the alarm is activated.
The perimeter alarm is activated when:
- any passenger door or the hood is opened without first receiving an electronic unlock command from an IKT or keyless entry keypad.
- the driver door is opened without first receiving an unlock command from an IKT or keyless entry keypad and the 12-second delay has expired.
- the ignition is turned to the RUN position without a valid PATS key read received.
