FORD 2013 Flex v.1 - Manual (Page 89)

ANTI-THEFT ALARM (IF EQUIPPED)
The system will warn you of unauthorized entry to your vehicle.
The turn signal lamps will flash and sound the horn up to a total of 10
times when:
• any door, the hood or the liftgate/trunk is opened without using the
keypad, the remote control or the intelligent access transmitter (if
equipped)
• the ignition is turned on with an invalid key.
Take all keys and remote controls to your authorized dealer if there is
any potential alarm problem with your vehicle.
Arming the Alarm
The system is ready to arm whenever the ignition is off. Lock the vehicle
to arm the alarm.
The turn signal lamps will flash once after locking the vehicle to indicate
the alarm is in the pre-armed mode and will become fully armed in
20 seconds.
Once fully armed, any intelligent access keys (if equipped) found inside
the vehicle are disabled and will not start the engine. Press the unlock
button to re-enable them.
Disarming the Alarm
To disarm the alarm, do any of the following:
• Press the power door unlock button within the 20-second pre-armed
mode.
• Press the unlock button on the remote control.
• Unlock the doors with the keyless entry pad.
• Enter the vehicle using intelligent access (if equipped).
• Turn the ignition on with a valid key (if equipped with IKT only).
• Press the panic button on the remote control. The alarm system will
still be armed, but this shuts off the horn and turn lamps when the
alarm is sounding.
Note: If the driver’s door is unlocked with a key, a chime will sound
when you open the door and a message will appear in the information
display. You will have 12 seconds to disarm the alarm using any of the
actions above, otherwise the alarm will trigger.
