Panic Alarm
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford RV Cutaway, 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
The RKE panic feature functions only when the ignition switch is in the OFF or LOCK positions.
The panic alarm feature controls activation of the panic alarm, providing audible and visual alarms that are evident from the exterior of the vehicle. The panic alarm feature requests that the park lamps and horn are flashed until deactivation. The flashing of the outputs occurs at the same time. Activation of the panic alarm is accomplished by pressing the PANIC button on an RKE transmitter whenever the key is in the OFF or LOCK position. At all other times this feature is disabled. Deactivation of an active PANIC alarm is accomplished by:
- A second press of the RKE transmitter PANIC button
- The ignition switch transitions out of the OFF or LOCK position
- A period of 2 minutes and 45 seconds has elapsed since the initial activation
