Hi all, just purchased a second hand Mondeo MB titanium 2010.
the book tells me it has an alarm and to go to the settings to adjust settings to my needs, however as I go through the sellings there is NO alarm settings at all!!! I have looked everywhere as to the books guided advice but nothing to be found, not even any greyed out options. Why would the book tell me it has an alarm when I cant find the options, am I doing something wrong??? Im frustrated and annoyed that I cant find these settings and am starting to think that that it does not have alarm settings. can someone please advice?? thanks in advance |

My 2010 MC Zetec "allegedly" had an alarm. I went playing with the car not long after I got it and figured out the one way I could set it off, I sat in the car, hit lock on the remote twice, then tried to manually open the door without unlocking them on the remote and she did start the horn [not VN] blowing.
There are no settings anywhere on any of my systems for an alarm (enable/disable) etc, I just have to assume it is there. Maybe try doing what I did, sit in your car, double lock it with the remote then try to unlock the door by hand (without remote) and open it, see what happens.

Will try a test as you suggested Riksta, I need to confirm there is an alarm or not as the car yard told it stating "it has an alarm"
Will update once test is done. |

I'm also sure that there is an alarm and that one of my kids set it off one day.
I know that there are settings in the computer for the forward alert., could there be a confusion from the book? |

no interior sensors that i can see, the dealership sold it stating "alarm system" when I questioned this they said, "it has an immobaliser and thats it" i said yes you stated it has an immobaliser and you also stated alarm. trickery to get you to buy.

I've got a feeling that the manual describes alarm systems that were not necessarily released in the australian version of the Mondeo.
Your car certainly should have a perimeter alarm, that is if one of the doors, bonnet or boot are opened (when you car is locked) it should trigger the alarm. I don't think the australian cars came with the internal cabin sensor systems. As it is simply a system that is activated when your car is locked, disarmed when your car is unlocked you won't be able to find any setting for it in the car's menus. I have done the same thing that Riksta suggested and after sitting in the car, locking the doors with the remote fob and then opening the door it set off the alarm system. |
