Using The Panic Alarm

hold the PANIC button on the RKE transmitter for at

the headlights and park lights will flash, the horn will

pulse on and off, and the interior lights will turn on.
The Panic Alarm will stay on for three minutes unless

you turn it off by pushing the PANIC button a second

time or if the vehicle speed is 5 mph (8 km/h) or greater.
NOTE:

When you turn off the Panic Alarm by pushing

the PANIC button a second time, you may have to move

closer to the vehicle due to the radio frequency noises of

the system.
