2. PressQon the RKE
transmitter.
3. Close the door and wait for a few seconds.
4. Reach in through the open window, unlock the door with
the manual door lock, and
open the door.
This should set off the alarm.

Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle is equipped with the
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.
If the engine does not start and the
security light comes on, the key may
have a damaged transponder. Turn
the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and
the key appears to be undamaged,
try another ignition key. If the engine
still does not start with the other key,
the vehicle needs service. If the
vehicle does start, the first key may
be faulty. See your dealer or a
locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key III+ to have a new
key made.
It is possible for the PASS-Key III+
decoder to learn the transponder
value of a new or replacement key.
Up to eight keys may be
programmed for the vehicle. This
procedure is for learning additional
keys only. If all the currently
programmed keys are lost or do not
operate, you must see your dealer
or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key III+ to have keys made
and programmed to the system.
See your dealer or a locksmith who
can service PASS-Key III+ to get a
new key blank that is cut exactly as
the ignition key that operates the
system.
To program the new key:
1. Verify the new key has
1
stamped on it.
2. Insert the original, already programmed key into the
ignition lock cylinder and start
the engine. If the engine will
not start, see your dealer for
service.
