Using the Panic Alarm

To turn the Panic Alarm feature ON or OFF, press and
hold the PANIC button on the RKE transmitter for at
least one second and release. When the Panic Alarm is on,
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 either pressing the PANIC button a
second time or drive the vehicle at a speed of 15 mph
(24 km/h) or greater.

NOTE:

• The interior lights will turn off if you turn the ignition

switch to the ACC or ON position while the Panic
Alarm is activated. However, the exterior lights and
horn will remain on.

• You may need to be less than 35 ft (11 m) from the

vehicle when using the RKE transmitter to turn off the
Panic Alarm due to the radio frequency noises emitted
by the system.

Programming Additional Transmitters

If you do not have a programmed RKE transmitter,
contact your authorized dealer for details.
