A button on the keyring next to lock/unlock doors to start an alarm, generally honking and flashing the lights. Nearly ubiquitous on cars in the US, though personally I've never seen one activated for anything but a mistake.
- olyjohn 6y agoI mean. You may never see someone use the panic button legitimately. The idea is that if someone is following you to your car, or threatening you you can hit that to garner attention and hopefully scare somebody off. That’s never happened to most people I know. Doesn’t mean it can’t be a useful tool if used properly.
