Post Crash Alert Function
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The post crash alert is a function controlled by the BCM . If the RCM determines an impact of enough severity (the air bags may or may not be deployed), the post crash alert function activates. The post crash alert function activates the hazard lamp function and cycles the horn on 3 times, then off for 4 seconds, and repeats this cycle until the battery is discharged or the function is turned off. The post crash alert function can be turned off by:
- pressing the hazard flasher lamp switch (which may need to be pressed twice).
- pressing the RKE transmitter UNLOCK button.
- pressing the RKE transmitter PANIC button.
