Alarm; Principle Of Operation - Ford Transit Owner's Handbook Manual

PRINCIPLE OF
OPERATION
All vehicles
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm
horns will sound for 30 seconds and
the hazard warning flashers will flash
for five minutes. If the cause of the
alarm being triggered has been
removed, the alarm will return to its
previous armed state. If the cause
has not been removed, the alarm
horns will sound again.
Vehicles with a perimeter

alarm

The perimeter alarm is a deterrent
against unauthorised access to your
vehicle through the doors and the
bonnet. It also protects the audio unit
and the trailer (if a Ford trailer-tow kit
is fitted). You can fully arm or partially
arm the alarm. Trailer detection is
disabled when you have partially
armed the alarm.
The perimeter alarm will be triggered
if someone:
• opens a door.
• opens the bonnet.
• attempts to start the engine with
an incorrectly coded key.
• removes the audio unit.
• disconnects the trailer electrical
connector (if it was connected at
the time the alarm was armed).
Alarm
Vehicles with a category
one alarm
E71401
The category one alarm is additional
to the perimeter alarm. Ultrasonic
interior motion detection protects
your vehicle against unauthorised
access to the passenger
compartment and the cargo area.
You can fully arm or partially arm the
alarm. Trailer detection and interior
motion detection are disabled when
you have partially armed the alarm.
Interior motion detection is not
activated if you arm the alarm when
a door is open.
The category one alarm will only
function correctly if all windows are
fully closed. Keep the area in front of
the motion sensors free from
obstruction.
The category one alarm is triggered
if:
• motion is detected in the
passenger compartment or cargo
area.
• someone attempts to access the
cargo area through the rear door
or tailgate window.
