Description And Operation: Anti-Theft: Overview
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2015 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The perimeter alarm system deters unauthorized entry to the vehicle by sounding the horn and flashing all the turn signals and interior courtesy lamps when an unauthorized entry occurs. The horn and lamps activate for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, the horn stops sounding, but the lamps 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 Handles, Locks, Latches and Entry Systems for information on the panic alarm operation.
