Disabling alarm sensors on mk7 Fiesta

[leglessAlex]

As the title says really, does anyone know how to do this? I've looked in the user manual and it claims it's possible but as far as I can see, doesn't tell you how to do it. There's also nothing helpful in the various menus and there's no obvious button anywhere, so I'm a bit stuck.

It's a late 2014 Titanium X spec, I have to take a ferry soon and would like to be able to do it just because I don't want to be that knob who's car alarm is constantly going off if it's rough!

Thanks all.

The Ford system is hardly comparable to an after-market alarm which can be set off by a passing lorry so I wouldn't worry. If things do get rough enough to set off alarms I think there will be plenty of others sounding off.

Make sure all the windows are properly closed though!

Does your fiesta have a cat 1 alarm or a perimeter alarm only? If it's the former, there should be a setting in the vehicle menu for Reduced Guard. If you tick that, the interior ultrasonic sensors are disabled.

I'm pretty sure it's cat 1 boss but I checked the onboard computer and no option for that. It's possible it's a perimeter alarm but surely with the all-toys Ti X it wouldn't be an option?

I've set the alarm off before, so I'd well believe a rough ferry crossing is enough to set it off and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Just checked the specs, perimeter alarm is standard on the ti x, cat 1 on ST models. Anyway, you don't have an inclination sensor for sure, nor the interior scanning, so I wouldn't worry about it, ferry should be alright.

Off the top of my head....

Settings - Convenience - Alarm.
You then have the three options - Full Guard, Reduced, Ask on Exit.

Anything other than Full Guard switches the internal sensors off.

There is no tilt sensor on Fiesta
