State-of-the-art security
Security has always been a Ford strong point. And the Ford Transit range carries on the proud tradition with a state-of-the-art security package.

Security
Proven security technology

With a host of awards to its name, the Ford Transit is consistently recognised by the industry as a class-leader for security. The latest model builds on this reputation to offer a comprehensive portfolio of affordable and proven security technology.

All Ford Transit Vans come with a Ford Safeguard Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) engine immobiliser (certified to Thatcham Category 2), high-security shielded locks with strengthened mountings, remote central double locking, lockable fuel filler, visible Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and VIN-protected audio units.

A Thatcham Category 1 alarm system is also available. The system features an interior scanner and an independent battery back-up, should a thief attempt to disconnect the vehicle battery supply.

The Ford Transit is also available with a trailer monitoring alarm *. The alarm is available with both Perimeter alarm and Thatcham 1 alarm when a Ford towbar and electrics accessory kit is fitted. The system monitors the trailer coupling and activates the alarm should it detect the unauthorised removal of the trailer.

* The trailer monitoring alarm is only available to customers who purchase the Thatcham Category 1 alarm system.

Additional security features include:
  • Unique lock-in-latch door lock system eliminates cables and rods between the lock and the latch
  • Central locking with dead locks, two-stage unlocking, auto relocking, auto locking on drive away and audible mis-lock feedback
  • Key-locking bonnet helps to prevent unwanted tampering of the engine compartment
  • 'Torque slip' anti-theft steering wheel renders the steering wheel inoperative if excessive force is applied
  • Unglazed load compartment doors help to reduce opportunist theft
  • Full-height steel bulkhead creates a secure load area

Configurable unlocking
This optional feature allows the driver to choose which doors to unlock, and in which order, when selected buttons are pressed on the remote key fob. The system provides added confidence, particularly for delivery operators, and further enhances the Ford Transit's already excellent security credentials.
