SecuriAlert works by sending a notification to your smartphone if it identifies anything going on with your vehicle, such as attempts to gain access inside.\nYou activate SecuriAlert using your FordPass app and easily toggling between the \"armed\" or \"disarmed\" function.Once armed, the app uses the vehicle’s existing sensors to identify if an attempt is made to breach the car .\nThen, with the help of the FordPass Connect onboard modem, the car will immediately send you a push notification on your smartphone letting you know what’s happening.\nFor example, if someone tries to open the door using a key (which wouldn’t trigger a conventional alarm), SecuriAlert will be on hand doing its job—just make sure to disarm it before using the car yourself.“Whether left on the street overnight or in a car park on a shopping trip, we know our customers care about the security of their car and its contents.\nSecuriAlert builds on Ford’s growing connectivity ecosystem to empower owners with the knowledge that if something happens with their vehicle when they aren’t driving it, they will be the first to know,” said Ford Mobility exec Richard Bunn.This app was initially introduced for commercial vehicles only (earlier this year), but now Ford customers across Europe can enjoy all its benefits as well.
