Alarm; Principle Of Operation; Arming The Alarm; Disarming The Alarm - Ford Fiesta Owner's Handbook Manual

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The alarm is a deterrent against
unauthorised access to your vehicle
through the doors and the bonnet. It also
protects the audio unit.
Triggering the alarm
Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any
of the following ways:
• If someone opens a door, the luggage
compartment or the bonnet without
a valid key or remote control.
• If someone removes the audio
system.
• If someone turns the ignition to
position I, II or III without a valid key.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will
sound for 30 seconds and the hazard
warning flashers will flash for five minutes.
Any further attempts to perform one of
the above will trigger the alarm again.

ARMING THE ALARM

The system is armed as soon as the
vehicle is locked and acts as a deterrent
to unauthorised persons who attempt to
open the doors, bonnet or luggage
compartment, or remove the audio
system.
The alarm sounds for 30 seconds if an
unauthorised person opens a door, the
luggage compartment or the bonnet. The
hazard flasher lights will flash for five
minutes.
Any attempt to start the engine without a
valid key or to remove the audio system
sounds the alarm again.

Alarm

Automatic arming delay
The 12 seconds arming delay begins
when the bonnet, luggage compartment
and all doors are closed.

DISARMING THE ALARM

Disarm and silence the alarm by unlocking
the doors with the key and switching the
ignition on with a correctly coded key, or
unlocking the doors with the remote
control.
