The SecuriLock
y
passive anti-theft system provides an advanced level of
vehicle theft protection. Your vehicle’s engine can only be started with
the two special SecuriLock
y
electronically coded keys provided with
your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the SecuriLock
y
key is
read by the SecuriLock
y
passive anti-theft system. If the SecuriLock
y
key identification code matches the code stored in the SecuriLock
y
passive anti-theft system, the vehicle’s engine is allowed to start. If the
SecuriLock
y
key identification code does not match the code stored in
the system or if a SecuriLock
y
key is not detected (vehicle theft
situation), the vehicle’s engine will not operate.
The SecuriLock
y
passive anti-theft system is not compatible with
aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Large metallic
objects or devices such as the Mobil Speedpass
y
on the same key ring
as your SecuriLock
y
key may cause vehicle starting problems. These
objects and devices cannot damage the SecuriLock
y
key, but can cause
a momentary problem if they are too close to the key when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs. turn ignition off and restart the engine with
all other objects on the key ring held away from the SecuriLock
y
ignition key.
Spare SecuriLock
y
keys can be purchased from your dealership and
programmed to your SecuriLock
y
passive anti-theft system. Refer to
Programming spare SecuriLock
y
keys for more information.
If one or both of your SecuriLock
y
keys are lost or stolen and you want
to ensure the lost or stolen key will not operate your vehicle, bring your
vehicle and all available SecuriLock
y
keys to your dealership for
reinitialization.
