Locks and Security PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) The perimeter anti-theft system will warn you in the event of an unauthorized entry to your vehicle. If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle, ensure ALL remote entry transmitters are taken to the dealership to aid in troubleshooting. Arming the system When armed, this system will help protect your vehicle from unauthorized entry. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the turn signal lamps and side repeaters and honk the horn. The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the ignition. Any of the following actions will prearm the alarm system: • Locking the vehicle using the remote entry transmitter. • Locking the vehicle using the keyless entry keypad. • Pressing the interior power door lock control while the door is open. Twenty seconds after one of the above events occurs, any door/hood that is closed is armed. Any door/hood that is still open is prearmed and waiting for the door/hood to be closed. Once that input is closed, the input will arm in 20 seconds and the exterior lamps may flash. Disarming the system You can disarm the system by any of the following actions: • Unlock the vehicle with the remote keyless transmitter. • Unlock the vehicle with the keyless entry keypad. • Unlock the vehicle with a key in the driver's door lock cylinder. • Use a SecuriLock key to move the ignition to the 4 (ON) or 5 (START) position. 107 2004 Freestar (win) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
