PASS-Key III Operation
®
When the PASS-Key III system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle's starter
and fuel systems. The starter will not work and fuel will
stop being delivered to the engine. 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 message comes on, the
key may have a damaged transponder. Turn the ignition
off and try again.
Your vehicle is equipped
®
with the PASS-Key III
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
®
PASS-Key III 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.
