Panic Mode (If Equipped)

Upon activation of the panic function the head lamps and park lamps flash in an alternating manner, the horn pulses every second and the courtesy lamps are turned on. The panic mode allows normal night time driving by allowing the headlamps and park lamps to be on steady when the headlamp switch is in the on position. Panic mode is activated immediately by pressing the panic button once. It does not disarm the VTSS or unlock the doors. It is canceled by pressing the button a second time, reaching a vehicle speed greater than 15 mph (24 kph), or after 3 minutes has elapsed in panic mode. Once panic mode has been activated there is a 2-second delay before it will turn off. Once it is cancelled there is a 2-second delay before it can be reactivated. This is to avoid the problem of deactivating and immediate reactivating due to multiple button presses.
