Have you ever thought to use your car key “PANIC” button as a personal safety alarm?
Here are some ways you can use the panic button in emergency situations:

2. Do you care for a loved one prone to falls? Purchase a spare key fob for their car and notify their neighbors that if they hear a horn honking next door to please check in and make sure your loved one is OK.
3. Feeling a little insecure in a parking garage at night? Don’t like the way someone is approaching you in a parking lot? Hit that panic button to draw attention to the situation. In many cases, the noise will be enough to deter a potential crime.
