Parking Lots

take your keys. But what if you have to leave your
ignition key? What if you have to leave something
valuable in your vehicle?

glove box.
D If your vehicle has a remote keyless entry system,

Passlock
R
Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock
theft
-
deterrent system.
Passlock is a passive theft
-
deterrent system. Passlock
enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is turned with a
valid key. If a correct key is not used or the ignition lock
cylinder is tampered with, fuel is disabled.
During normal operation, the SECURITY light will
go off approximately five seconds after the key is
turned to RUN.
If the engine stalls and the SECURITY light flashes,
wait until the light stops flashing before trying to restart
the engine. Remember to release the key from START
as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is running and the SECURITY light
comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if you
turn the engine off. However, your Passlock system is
not working properly and must be serviced by your
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock at
this time. You may also want to check the fuses
(see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index).
See your dealer for service.
