Description And Operation: Anti-Theft: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Fiesta. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The perimeter anti-theft alarm system consists of the following:
- Anti-theft alarm horn (inside the luggage compartment on the passenger side in 4-door sedans. Underneath the left rear D-pillar trim in 5-door hatchbacks.)
- Door ajar input
- Door lock control switch input
- Door disarm switch (part of the driver door latch)
- Hood switch (part of the hood latch)
- Liftgate/luggage compartment ajar input
- Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
- Turn signals
- Body Control Module (BCM)
The perimeter alarm system protects the vehicle from unauthorized entry by sounding the horn and flashing the turn signals at regular intervals when the system is armed and any door, the hood, or liftgate/luggage compartment is opened without using the key in the driver door lock cylinder, the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, or the Intelligent Access (IA) feature.
