PASS-Key@II
r
J
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key'II
(Personalized Automotive
Security System) -theft
deterrent system.
PASS-Key'II
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'II
uses a resistor pellet in the
ignition key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key@II 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 O r uses another key during this
time, the vehicle will not start. This discourages someone
from randomly trying different keys with different resistor
pellets in an attempt to make a match.
The ignition key must be clean and dry before it's
inserted in the ignition dr the- engine may not
start. If the
engine does not start and the SECURITY light is on, the
key may be dirty or wet. Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try
again. The security light may remain on during this
time. If the starter still won't work, and the key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try
another ignition key. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuses (see "Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in the
Index). If the starter won't work with the other key, your
q
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the first
ignition key may be faulty. See your Oldsmobile retailer
or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key'II.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter'won't work, and the
SECURITY light will come on. But you don't have to
wait three minutes before trying another ignition key.
See your Oldsmobile retailer or a locksmith who can
service the PASS-Key@II to have a new key made.
If you're ever driving and the SECURITY light comes
on, you will be able to restart your engine if you turn it
off. Your PASS-Key'II
system, however, is not
working properly and must be serviced by your
Oldsmobile retailer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS-Key@II system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key@II ignition key, see
your Oldsmobile retailer or a, locksmith who can service
PASS-Key@II to have a new key made.
