I just realized that there's no panic alarm button on my Type 1 Intelligent Access Key. I guess I assumed that some combination of button presses would activate the alarm. Is this really the case (no panic alarm)? Surely not.
But if so, can I buy a Type 2 key and have it work with my plain-vanilla SEL?

That is true, I believe the Type 2 is only for the Energi due to the built-in remote start.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT 
I hadn't even noticed it was missing.
That has been the #1 thing 
(GRIP) I've had for yrs.
EVER TIME I'm working on a motorcycle or anything else in the garage I set that POS alarm off!
Thank you so much 
, I'm on my way to the garage right now to enjoy a little peace and quiet while rebuilding some carburetors.

Bill I noticed the lack of panic button awhile back and was surprised. I found having one on my last car's key fob was very reassuring when walking to the car at night.

We are not as heavily populated where I live so I think heads would turn. Hey we even got the fire truck coming into our townhouse complex due to a smoke detector shrieking (fire hall is across the street).

I liked the panic alarm when I am trying to find my car in big parking lot decks. Now I will just wander around hoping I will find it again.
I lost my car
Maybe if there was a gps app that would track the car on my phone????????????

Page 60 of the manual:
Car Finder
Press the lock button on the key twice within three seconds. The horn will chirp and the turn signals will flash. It is recommended that this method be used to locate your vehicle, rather than using the panic alarm.

Page 60 of the manual:The bi-directional remote start has a similar feature in that it honks the horn 4-times. It's called progressive scan. This is a little better in that the bi-directional remote start fob has a greater range than the car fob to lock/unlock the doors.

It says use this rather than the panic alarm, so does that mean there IS a panic alarm?According to the manual, the Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (the key for the SE) has the panic.

Since there are many new members, I thought i'd ask again: does anyone know if the Type 2 key can be used to gain panic alarm functionality?

Only those with an Energi have a Type 2. You would have to ask the dealer if a Type 2 can be programmed with a Sel.

MyFordMobile shows the state and location of the car on your phone or computer. Works great. Can also start, lock, unlock car, and sends a txt message if car alarm sounds.

Isn't that only available for the Energi?

Ashley, would you check on this please? I'd really like to have a FOB (of whatever type) that would act as a panic button. My dealer parts dept. has no idea.

I have the type 2 FOB which has a panic button on my Hybrid SEL, so the type 2 remote is not exclusive to the Energi. I do have the remote start option which came with my car, but guessing it is probably not a very popular option.
I don't see why a type 2 wouldn't work in a regular hybrid, but aren't they really expensive? (my dealer told me they were $500 to replace)
