Note:
Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to
purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These
objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a
momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition to the off position, remove
all objects on the key chain away from the coded key and restart the
engine.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always
take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
Anti-theft indicator
The anti-theft indicator is the flashing red indicator located on the dash
panel.
•
When the ignition is in the off position, the indicator will flash once
every two seconds to indicate the SecuriLock™ system is functioning
as a theft deterrent.
•
When the ignition is in the on position, the indicator will glow for
three seconds to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock™ system, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the on position. If this
occurs, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off
position.
The theft indicator on the instrument panel will flash every two seconds
when the vehicle is armed.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the on position with a
coded key
disarms the
vehicle.
•
The theft indicator on the instrument panel will illuminate for three
seconds and then go out.
•
If the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or
flashes rapidly, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Replacement keys
If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key,
you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The
key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will
need to be programmed.
