The panic alarm is deactivated whenever GEM detects:

• if the key causes a transition of the ignition switch circuits to
  • ACC.
  • RUN.
  • START.
  • 2.75 minutes elapse since activation of the panic alarm
• the remote transmitter
  • panic button.
  • unlock button.

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