When the Security System is Armed:
• All interior entry points are monitored for unauthorized entry;
• The Interior Theft Sensor monitors for impact to the vehicles body or glass;
• The system status indicator flashes once every four seconds.
If any monitored entry pointed is opened or hard impact is detected, the system will
activate an alarm cycle. During the alarm cycle:
• The horn sounds in a random pattern;
• Siren sounds (if equipped);
• The parking lights flash;
• The system status indicator begins to flash rapidly.
The alarm cycle lasts for 30 seconds. At the end of the 30 second cycle, the system
will pause for 10 seconds and then begin monitoring for any further alarm conditions.
If another alarm condition is detected the system will go in to another alarm cycle.
The system will trip up to 5 times for each different alarm condition (i.e. door open or
hard impact to the vehicle body)
Interior Theft Sensor (IT-s
R
):
While the security system is armed, the IT-s monitors for impact to both the vehicles
body and glass. If a light, not-threatening, impact is detected the system will chirp the
horn to warn-away would be intruders. In the event that a hard impact is detected, the
system will trip an alarm cycle.
Temporarily overriding the IT-s :
Pressing the button on your PowerCode remote control transmitter within 5
seconds of arming the security system will disable the Interior Theft Sensor (IT-s) for
that arming cycle. The system will confirm this command by chirping the horn three
times. Re-arming the security system will re-enable the IT-s.
Automatic arming:
Your PowerCode security system can programmed to arm and/or lockout the starter
automatically. Your PowerCode security system is programmed from the factory for
manual arming. If you would like to activate the automatic starter lockout and/or
automatic arming features of your system, contact 1-800-FORD-KEY for instructions
on activating these and your systems other programmable features.
When automatic arming is activated, one minute after the ignition key has been
turned off (if all entry points are closed) the system will flash the parking lights two
times to indicate the security system is armed.
Security system will not arm:
If the parking lights only flash once when you attempt to arm the security system and/
or the horn only chirps once when the is pressed a second time, the security
system is either in Valet mode or a protected entry point is open. If a entry is open
when the system attempts to arm, the system will wait up to 5 minutes for the open
entry point to be closed. If the entry is still open after five minute the system go ahead
and arm, ignoring the open entry point until after it is closed. Once closed that entry
point will then be monitored. If all of your doors are closed, the system is in Valet
mode. In this case, refer to the Valet mode section of this manual.
