PASS-Key

III+ Electronic
Immobilizer Operation
Your vehicle has PASS-Key
®
III+ (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
®
III+ is a passive theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed when the key
is removed from the ignition.
You do not have to manually arm or disarm the system.
The security light will come on if there is a problem
with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
When the PASS-Key
®
III+ system senses that someone
is using the wrong key, it prevents the vehicle from
starting. Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start
the vehicle will be discouraged because of the high
number of electrical key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does not
start and the security light on the instrument panel
cluster comes on, there may be a problem with your
theft-deterrent system. Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears
to be not damaged, try another ignition key. At this time,
you may also want to check the fuse. See Fuses on
page 6-83. If the engine still does not start with the other
key, your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does
start, the first key may be faulty. See your dealer/retailer
who can service the PASS-Key
®
III+ to have a new
key made. In an emergency, contact Roadside
Assistance. See Roadside Assistance Program on
page 8-7.
