2011 FORD C MAX key

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The engine immobiliser is a theft protection
system that prevents someone from
starting the engine with an incorrectly
coded key.
CODED KEYS
Note:
Do not shield your keys with metal
objects. This may prevent the receiver from
recognising your key as a valid one.
Note: Have all of your remaining keys
erased and recoded if you lose a key. Ask
your dealer for further information. Have
replacement keys recoded together with
your existing keys.
If you lose a key, you can obtain a
replacement from your Ford Dealer. If
possible, provide them with the key
number from the tag provided with the
original keys. You can also obtain
additional keys from your Ford Dealer.

Alarm system
Your vehicle may be equipped with one of
the following alarm systems:
•
Perimeter alarm.
• Perimeter alarm with interior sensors.
• Category one alarm with interior
sensors and battery back-up sounder.
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.
Interior sensors WARNING
The sensors in the interior lamp unit
must not be covered up. Do not
activate the alarm with full guard if
any persons, animals or other moving
objects are inside the vehicle. The sensors act as a deterrent against
unauthorised intrusion by sensing any
movement within the vehicle. Battery back-up sounder
The battery back-up sounder is an extra
alarm system which will sound a siren
when the alarm is triggered. It is armed
directly when you lock the vehicle. The
sounder has its own battery and will sound
an alarm siren even if someone
disconnects the vehicle battery or the
battery back-up sounder itself.
Triggering the alarm
Once armed, the alarm is triggered in any
of the following ways:
•
If someone opens a door, the tailgate
or the bonnet without a valid key or
remote control.
• If someone removes the audio or
navigation system.
• If the ignition is turned to position I, II
or III without a valid key.
• If the interior sensors detect movement
within the vehicle.
• On vehicles with a battery back-up
sounder, if someone disconnects the
vehicle battery or the battery back-up
sounder itself.
If the alarm is triggered, the alarm horn will
sound for 30 seconds and the hazard
warning flasher will flash for five minutes.
Any further attempts to perform one of the
above will trigger the alarm again.
Full and reduced guard
Full guard
Full guard is the standard setting.
In full guard, the interior sensors are
activated when you arm the alarm.
Note: This may result in false alarms if
animals or moving objects are inside the
vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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).
Information messages
