Panic Alarm
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The panic alarm feature provides audible and visual alarms which are evident from the exterior of the vehicle. When the panic alarm button is initially pressed, the panic alarm feature requests that the turn signals flash and the horn sounds for up to 3 minutes or until deactivation. The flashing of the outputs occurs simultaneously.
The panic alarm can only be activated when the ignition is off. This feature is disabled at all other times. Deactivation of an active panic alarm is accomplished when:
- a second press of the RKE transmitter panic button is detected.
- the ignition status changes from off.
- a period of 2 minutes and 45 seconds have elapsed since the initial activation.
The panic alarm cannot be deactivated during the first 5 seconds of activation to avoid unintentional deactivation.
