  • Patent number: 5663704
    Abstract: A vehicle security system includes a vehicle sensor, an alarm indicator, and a controller operatively connected to the vehicle sensor and alarm indicator. The controller includes a remote panic lock control feature for moving one or all of the vehicle door locks to the unlocked position and generating an alarm responsive to receipt of a remote panic signal from a remote transmitter and when the controller is in the armed mode. Accordingly, an owner returning to his vehicle may press the panic button on his handheld remote transmitter thereby causing the alarm to sound and the driver's door or all the doors to be unlocked to permit entry of the owner into the relative safety of his vehicle. The controller also preferably moves an unlocked vehicle door lock to the locked position a first time after receipt of the remote panic signal, such as in the event of an inadvertent pressing of the remote panic switch.
