Panic Alarm

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Lincoln Mark LT and 2007 Ford Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The panic alarm feature provides audible and visual alarms which are evident from the exterior of the vehicle. The panic alarm feature requests that the parking lamps are flashed and the horn sounds until deactivation. The flashing of the outputs occurs simultaneously. Activation of the panic alarm is accomplished by pressing the PANIC button on an RKE transmitter whenever the key is in the OFF or ACC positions. At all other times this feature is disabled. Deactivation of an active PANIC alarm is accomplished by: 1) a second press of the RKE transmitter PANIC button, 2) the key is switched out of the OFF or ACC position, or 3) a period of 2 minutes and 45 seconds has elapsed since the initial activation.
