Or, areas close to the doors, or near the seats or any other convenient location. The panic button in your car can be located on the dashboard close to the driver. The panic button in a car is one that does a similar function.
#Panic button car trial#
It’s tough to explain, and takes a lot of trial and error, but once you get the first one, the others go much quicker. Then push down on the rubber button so the green nub goes into the hole, and sort of rotate the bobby-pin to get the rubber around the hole to catch on the nub. I used a bobby-pin to push against the side of the rubber guide at the bottom where there’s a small notch to create a sort of oval shaped opening. You need to pop the green nubs back into the black rubber guides below, working top to bottom.

If you’re careful, gentle, and patient, you can work your way around and under the green piece without damaging the face of the button in any way: I was successful in this endeavor (fortunately: I would never have forgiven myself if I had destroyed the face).Ĩ. There are four holes in the green piece where the rubber pokes through for added strength, but it’s also glued down. Using a small knife, slowly and methodically work your way around the green piece and underneath it to separate it from the rubber. I was afraid if I pulled it off completely I’d never get it back on again.ĥ. This means the rubber buttons are still connected to the fob at the top. I stopped once all 5 green nubs were released. Slowly pull up on the rubber face of the buttons to pop the green nubs out of their rubber guides. These have nubs on them that slot into rubber guides underneath. You’ll begin to see some green plastic pieces underneath. There’s no glue or anything holding it in, so grab it and slowly begin to lift it away from the fob.ģ. The side of the large rubber piece should begin to push away from the front of the fob. The face of the fob is a solid rubber piece that runs from over the top all the way to the bottom of panic. Using a flat head screwdriver, push gently down the side of the fob from the open side against one of the edges of the panic button. Use the key to turn the battery cover anti clockwise, and remove cover and battery.Ģ. It took a little while to figure out what to do, but the solution is pretty solid, and technically it’s reversible, but would require superglue.ġ. Also, like pretty much everyone else, I have never accidentally triggered the panic button on any other car, and I’ve never needed to use it. The fob was in my pocket both times, and the earlier instance happened around 5:45AM when I was getting ready for work: I’m sure the neighbors were thrilled.

Although being only the second and third time it’s happened since I’ve had the car (mid-Nov), I was done: I had to find a solution. Yesterday, I accidentally hit the panic button on my fob TWICE.
