Arming The Alarm; Disarming The Alarm - Ford C-MAX Owner's Manual

Note: False alarms can also be triggered
by the auxiliary heater See Auxiliary Heater
(page 106). If you are using the auxiliary
heater, direct the air flow towards the
footwell.
Reduced guard
In reduced guard, the interior sensors are
deactivated when you arm the alarm.
Note: You can set the alarm to reduced
guard for the current ignition cycle only. The
next time you switch on the ignition, the
alarm will be reset to full guard.
Ask on Exit
You can set the information display to ask
you each time which level of guard you
wish to set.
If you select Ask on Exit, the message
Reduced guard? appears in the
instrument cluster display each time you
switch the ignition off.
If you wish to arm the alarm with reduced
guard, press the OK button when this
message appears.
If you wish to arm the alarm with full guard,
leave the vehicle without pressing the OK
button.
Selecting full or reduced guard
Note: Selecting Reduced does not set the
alarm permanently to reduced guard. It sets
it to reduced guard only for the current
ignition cycle. If you regularly set the alarm
to reduced guard, select Ask on Exit.
You can select full or reduced guard using
the information display. See General
Information (page 83).
