It will make your car alarm sound.

I accidentally pushed mine and it is the alarm. Just lock the doors and the alarm will quit, try it when you don't mind the noise.

I just got mine in December and love it. I got a new 2007 that was leftover so still new Sebring Limited. First new vehicle since 97 amazing all the gadgets.

If someone walks up on you and you feel like they may want to hurt you just push the button and your alarm will go off ,hopefully someone would see that you need help or it will cause the person to run off.

Handyman

it just starts the alarm going, its good if some kids are by your car at the park and are getting too close.

jdub

it sets off the car alarm ...right then....

useful to foil a mugger, if you are standing next to the car

useful to find your car..in walmarts parking lot

useful to warn your neighbor.. when he backs up too close to your car...

useful when you are in a restaurant, and see someone about to door-ding your car in the parking lot...

Panic is used in any emergency requiring help, like a mugging or purse snatching.The alarm goes off and the perpetrator runs off to avoid being seen.

When you press that button, it will honk the horn and flash the lights immediately (as long as you're within the signal range).

The theory behind it is to bring attention to the car's area if you feel unsafe from an undesirable person coming up to you. This will draw attention to the vehicle and scare off the thug. That's the original intention for the button.

The reality is that is makes a great car locator in a crowded parking lot when you forgot where you parked.

Very few people pay any attention to car alarms going off, since they do so all the time. In a crowded parking lot, not many people will pay any attention since they're used all the time to locate a vehicle. At best, they may look in that direction, but that's about all.

Of course, anything and everything that draws attention to you helps when you're feeling like you're in danger.

What's going to happen to Chrysler?

I saw on the news that they could file for bankruptcy as early as next week. What will/might happen?

They'll either reorganize (if Fiat merges with them as is hoped) or they will go out of business... (((kicking myself in the butt for buying a Pacifica last year)))
EDIT: Yes, I know it has Mercedes bones, that was one reason we bought it (heehee) and it really is a good car - I just worry about service and the like should it go under. Hopefully things will all work out & they'll restructure.

They'll restructure during bankruptcy and will still be around.

done wrenching

To the lady kicking herself for purchasing a Pacifica, it has Mercedes bones, I would not let the Chrysler name plate and its current troubles diminish a good decision. I would say that the Pacifica is still to this day a good decision, particularly if you plan to keep the car.

With a high degree of certainty, Chrysler will not go under. Cerebus owns Chrysler lock stock and barrel, they are an equity group, Hank Paulson, former Fed Treasury Secretary, Goldman Sachs alum is with this outfit. If Chrysler sinks Cerebus sinks, which will further damage our financial market. It is for this reason, Chrysler fits in the unwanted category of being to big to allow collapse.
My point here, is that U.S. taxpayer must be in it to win it for the manufacturing base and the financial equity firm's survival.

The other reason is that it cuts into the manufacturing capacity of the U.S. military. Namely the Abrams M1 tank, it is a Chrysler product. At least it has been. Several high profile military weapons are manufactured from Chrysler and General Motors. Case in point the Presidential motorcade is General Motors. While it is normal in appearance, its code name is Beast. Due to it's formidable and robust capabilities to protect the President here and abroad.
Consider this hypothetical scenario. If the U.S. were to lose a tank to wear and tear of war, Chrysler folds, who builds another? The civilian automakers continue to have a role in military re-supply of parts, too.
It is for this exact reason, the U.S. cannot afford to have our automotive manufacturing prowess go down the tubes. Another very powerful and convincing reason is their is no replacement in the economic sphere for another economic engine that can help drive the economy much sooner than later. Certainly, it is a matter of repair and reconfiguration that will take shape. As a retired military service member, I can tell you we need Chrysler, Ford and GM to be alright.
Will things change? Absolutely, this is the age we live in. However, I would not lose hope in this regard and know that having a bit of faith will not hurt matters.
On a personal note, we are all facing the same type dilemma, nevertheless, we are going to be around too. Our hair may have become a little grayer, or baldness may be the new style because we have rubbed our hair out, but tomorrow is another day to get it right. I say, keep your eyes open, manage what you have in front of you, don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself.
I am certain, that is exactly what will happen.

Grace.

mark_hensley@sbcglobal.net

they need to stop buying parts that are low price and quality they use to make their cars and start maufacturing car that are what people want and can fix if they break. some of the cars chrysler and gm designed makes me wonder why they didnt put more thought and effort into it. there needs to be better style and design. its not impossable i just cant see why they dont do it. they push every thing so tight under the hood and leave no space and no one wants to fix them and if something simple like a fan belt breaks it cant be fixed it has to be towed. people get sick of things and imports are less stress. what ever happened to the cars chysler made when i was glad i bought one instead of these poorly designed things they make now. i could design a car better than them

Engine light went on in my Chrysler 300.?

Its a 2005 with 30k miles and I bought it used from a dealership. The car felt funny while braking and when driving at low speeds, almost felt like the car was constantly shifting gears. Than the engine light goes on and now everything is smooth again but the light wont go off. Any ideas?

Since the economy is failing, a lot of places will diagnose your CEL for free. NAPA and AAMCO, to name two. Go there, and get them to read the code. Write the trouble code that set the light off, and type it in google to see WTF it is.

Walter H

id go to the local autozone or advance and have get you a quick diagnostic scan,be cause thre are alot of thing that could cause a problem.the scan should show you some code to locate the problem

Car problems please help?!?!?!? CAR PEOPLE ONLY PLZ!!! 96 plymouth neon tranny problems?

I bought a 1996 plymouth neon about a year ago and it had problems so i put 250 into new filters and new plugs and a whole bunch of other things under the hood. Well the tranny has gone on it. I only put 750 into the car total..500 for it and the 250 of parts. It will cost 1500 about to fix. I'm thinking just junk it but what is the best option to take? Will I even get anything for it? Can I trade it in for say a buy here pay here type thing (I have bad credit right now) even tho it won't run? The neon just stays in neutral when you shift into drive. It still goes in reverse and the engine sounds normal I just wanna do the smartest most profitable thing with the situation? maybe buy a replacement tranny I saw some on ebay motors around 200 but I don't know the labor of putting it in and taking the old tranny out? thanks everyone for your help

Ebay or craigslist and part it out. Neons are the new "beetles". Every part is worth some thing. Hood, headlights, taillights, trunk, doors x4! Good tires? Seats? Do the craigslist and ebay thing and you might not only break even, but come out ahead.

Mine has a little black button next to the light on each side.

shipper1948

I cant remember the exact way but this could help.
I pretty sure the headlight for the car turn on with knob thingy to the left of the steering wheel. If so that would turn the interior lights on. Either buy pushing in, twisting it, etc.

If i was wrong just look in the manual.

azn_ryan

look for the roll button to the right of the headlamp switch.
