Function setTimeout passed as argument in js class executes immediately, and call class method inside setTimeout

Js class method getInfo should call alert after 5 seconds delay, but it fires immediately

function limiter (limit,hid,sid) {
    this.limit = limit;
    this.hid = hid;
    this.sid = sid;


    this.getInfo = function(aca) {

       setTimeout(alert(aca), 5000);
    };
}


var limiter= new limiter(5,5,5);

limiter.getInfo("loko roko");

Place the alert event inside a function.

function limiter(limit, hid, sid) {
  this.limit = limit;
  this.hid = hid;
  this.sid = sid;
  console.log(this.limit);

  this.getInfo = function(aca) {
    setTimeout(() => {
      console.log(this.limit);
      alert(aca)
    }, 5000);
  };
}

var limiter = new limiter(5, 5, 5);

limiter.getInfo("loko roko");
