Panic Alarm Operation

The panic alarm feature allows the vehicle to initiate an alarm for 2.75 minutes to identify itself using a valid remote transmitter. The panic alarm is activated whenever the GEM detects the ignition switch is in the OFF position or if the key is removed from the ignition, and the GEM detects a valid PANIC response from the remote transmitter. When the panic alarm is activated, the GEM:

• illuminates the courtesy lamps.
• flashes the parking lamps.
• toggles the horn on and off.

The panic alarm is deactivated whenever GEM detects:

• if the key causes a transition of the ignition switch circuits to
  • ACC.
  • RUN.
  • START.
• the remote transmitter
  • panic button.
  • unlock button.

  The panic alarm is also deactivated after 2.75 minutes have gone by.
