PASS-KEY IIm
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key I1
TM
(Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft deterrent system. PASS-Key I1
TM
is
a
passive theft deterrent system. This means you don't have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert or remove
the key from the ignition. PASS-Key
TM
uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
TI
TM
system senses that someone is using the wrong
key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter and fuel systems. For about three
minutes, the starter won't work and fuel won't go to the engine. If
someone tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key during this
time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages someone from randomly
trying different keys with different resistor pellcts in an attempt
to
make a
match.
The ignition key must be clean and dry before it's inserted in the ignition
or the engine may not start. If the engine does not start and the
"SECURITY" light comes on, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn the
ignition off.
If you're ever driving and the "SECURITY" light comes on and
continues to flash, you get the "PASS-KEY MALFUNCTION" message
and the "STARTING DISABLED" message appears, you will be able to
restart your engine if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key
TI
TM
system,
