SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a coded-key anti-theft system. Only the
correct key will be able to start your vehicle. If your keys are lost or
stolen, you must take your vehicle to your dealership for key
reprogramming.
The SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system provides an advanced level of
vehicle theft protection. Your vehicle's engine can only be started with
the two special SecuriLockyelectronically coded keys provided with
Controls and features
76

your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the SecuriLockykey is
read by the SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system. If the SecuriLocky
key identification code matches the code stored in the SecuriLocky
passive anti-theft system, the vehicle's engine is allowed to start. If the
SecuriLockykey identification code does not match the code stored in
the system or if a SecuriLockykey is not detected (vehicle theft
situation), the vehicle's engine will not operate.
The SecuriLockypassive 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 Speedpassyon the same key ring
as your SecuriLockykey may cause vehicle starting problems. These
objects and devices cannot damage the SecuriLockykey, 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 SecuriLocky
ignition key.
Spare SecuriLockykeys can be purchased from your dealership and
programmed to your SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system. Refer to
Programming spare SecuriLockykeysfor more information.
If one or both of your SecuriLockykeys 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 SecuriLockykeys to your dealership for
reinitialization.
Theft indicator
The theft indicator on top of the instrument panel will operate as
follows:
²When the ignition is OFF, the theft indicator will flash briefly every 2
seconds to indicate the SecuriLockysystem is protecting your
vehicle.
²When the ignition is turned to ON or START, the theft indicator will
light for 3 seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on for
an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system
serviced by your dealership or a qualified technician.
Programming spare SecuriLockYkeys
Spare SecuriLockykeys can be purchased from your dealership and
programmed to your SecuriLockyanti-theft system (up to a total of 8
Controls and features

keys). Your dealership can program your new SecuriLockykey(s) to
your vehicle or you can do it yourself using the following simple
procedure. To program a new SecuriLockykey yourself, you will need
two previously programmed SecuriLockykeys (keys that already
operate your vehicle's engine). If two previously programmed
SecuriLockykeys are not available (one or both of your original keys
were lost or stolen), you must bring your vehicle to your dealership to
have the spare SecuriLockykey(s) programmed.
Procedure to program spare SecuriLockYkeys to your vehicle
New SecuriLockykeys must have the correct mechanical key cut for
your vehicle.
Conventional (non-SecuriLocky) keyscannotbe programmed to your
vehicle.
You will need to have two previously programmed SecuriLockykeys and
the new unprogrammed SecuriLockykey readily accessible for timely
implementation of each step in the procedure. Please read and
understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed SecuriLockykey into the
ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in
RUN for at least one second).
2. Turn ignition to OFF and remove the first SecuriLockykey from the
ignition.
3. Within five seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the second
previously programmed SecuriLockykey into the ignition and turn the
ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at least one
second but no more than 5 seconds).
4. Turn the ignition to OFF and remove the second SecuriLockykey
from the ignition.
5. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the
unprogrammed SecuriLockykey (new key/valet key) into the ignition
and turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at
least one second). This step will program your new SecuriLockykey.
6. To program additional SecuriLockykey(s), repeat this procedure from
step 1.
If the programming procedure was successful, the new SecuriLocky
key(s) will start the vehicle's engine. The theft indicator (located on the
instrument panel) will light for three seconds and then go out.
Controls and features
78

If the programming procedure was not successful, the new SecuriLocky
key(s) will not operate the vehicle's engine. The theft indicator will flash
on and off. Wait at least one minute and then repeat the procedure from
step 1. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealership to have
the spare SecuriLockykey(s) programmed.
