Perimeter Alarm Activation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Lincoln MKX and 2014 Ford Edge. 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 and opened using a key in the door lock cylinder. 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, liftgate, or the hood is opened without first receiving an electronic unlock command from a RKE transmitter or keyless entry keypad.
- the driver door is opened without first receiving an unlock command from an RKE transmitter, keyless entry keypad, or IA command and the 12-second delay has expired.
- the passenger door or liftgate is opened without first receiving an IA command (if equipped).
- the ignition is transitioned to RUN without a valid PATS key read received.
