Does Ford have anti theft system?

Ford Anti-Theft System
Yes, Ford vehicles are equipped with an anti-theft system called SecuriLock Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS). This system is designed to prevent anyone from starting the engine without using a coded key programmed to the vehicle. It is an engine immobilization system that helps enhance the security of Ford vehicles.
The SecuriLock system works by using a coded key that needs to be correctly programmed to the vehicle in order to start the engine. If an incorrect key is used, the engine will not start. The system is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems, as using these systems could result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.
In addition to the SecuriLock system, Ford vehicles also have an Anti-Theft Alarm system. This system is designed to warn the owner of unauthorized entry to the vehicle. It will be triggered if a door, luggage compartment, or hood is opened without using the key, remote control, or keyless entry keypad. The alarm system will activate the direction indicators and sound the horn if unauthorized entry is attempted while the alarm is armed. Pressing the panic button on the remote control will stop the horn and signal indicators, but will not disarm the system.
Furthermore, Ford has collaborated with ADT Security Services to develop the Canopy system, which is an advanced anti-theft technology for vehicles. The Canopy system provides a strong and convenient way to strengthen car security. It allows ADT professionals to receive immediate notice if the system detects a significant pressing alert, enabling them to alert the police and/or the owner to prevent car theft.
Overall, Ford vehicles are equipped with various anti-theft systems, including the SecuriLock Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS), the Anti-Theft Alarm system, and the Canopy system developed in collaboration with ADT Security Services.
