stevenc Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 The dog is often touching off the alarm when she jumps from back seat to front. Seems straight forward to disable the interior motion sensors & choose “perimeter only” via the alarm settings, but…. does Ford expect me to go through this on every trip? Every time I get back in the truck, the setting change does not seem to have been saved. I realize I can also choose to prompt on exit, but I find that to be equally annoying to have to think about every trip. Am I missing something? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH_Bulldog Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 The system resets on the next key cycle. I just use “ask on exit” and select perimeter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineNut Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I got used to doing it with my 2015 F150 where it was second nature. I usually leave the side windows cracked during the summer and there was a few times a bug or gust of wind set off the alarm. Would have liked to set perimeter only as a default but got pretty used to 'ask on exit'. Two key strokes: 'Set Perimeter Only' and 'OK'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is what it is, I guess… although the logic is lost on me. 17 hours ago, PineNut said: 'Set Perimeter Only' and 'OK'. This makes me think that something is still not functioning correctly. I am not able to move to or toggle the “ok” button as shown below (it is always greyed out), so am I ever really selecting anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just telling you to hit the OK button on the steering wheel to make your selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, mine does this also. I can toggle the feature I want but it will not let me select ok before exiting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybryd40 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Yes, lol. I understand that. I don't toggle between the two either by touching the screen ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concern/confusion for me is that this prompt does not respond similar to anything else. Every other message screen such as blind spot, trailer disconnected, etc. immediately disappears when you press the ok button on the steering wheel. That does not happen for the alarm settings. The OK button will toggle your alarm choice setting to blue indicating you’ve selected it, but that is all. I can hit OK once or ten more times & the alarm screen prompt remains… it just times out on its own before closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
