The panic alarm feature controls activation of the panic alarm providing audible and visual alarms which are evident from the exterior of the vehicle. The panic alarm feature requests that the parking lamps and horn are flashed until deactivation. The flashing of the outputs occurs synchronously. Activation of the panic alarm is accomplished by pressing the PANIC button on a keyless entry remote transmitter whenever the ignition is off. At all other times this feature is disabled. Deactivation of an active PANIC alarm is accomplished by: 1) a second press of the PANIC button, 2) the ignition is switched out of the OFF or ACC position or; 3) a period of 2.75 minutes has elapsed since the initial activation.
