Vanquished Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 When I unlock the 02 Mondeo with the key, it disarms the alarm. I can't do this on the 06 Mondeo without the alarm going off. I have to use the remote to open, not something I want to rely on. Is this standard for the later MK3's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegtuk Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 here is are two quotes from another forum. "I was told that the Mondeo has a thing where, if you unlock it using thekey manually in the door handle you get a certain time to start theengine, else the alarm goes off. Its designed to stop theiving chavripping the handle off the door and gaining entry. Hence if another dooris opened whilst you're between door lock and ignition it sets thealarm off straight away." --------------------------------- "Mine is a 2003 model, and if I open the door with the non-remote key itstarts bleeping then the alarm sounds. The handbook says you have tomove the key to position II but mine only stops the alarm if I start theengine. Same applies to a friend's 2004 model.The handbook is not very clear which model that particular instruction refers to." ------------------------------------- Have a go and see if that works.
