SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with a coded-key anti-theft system. Only the
correct keywill be able to start your vehicle. If your keys are lost or
stolen, you must take your vehicle to your dealership for key
reprogramming.
This system provides an advanced level of vehicle theft protection. Your
vehicle's engine can only be started with the two coded keys provided
with your vehicle. Each time you start your vehicle, the coded key is
read by the anti-theft system. If the key identification code matches the
code stored in the anti-theft system, the vehicle's engine is allowed to
start. If the key identification code does not match the code stored in
the system or if a coded key is not detected (vehicle theft situation), the
vehicle's engine will not operate.
If there is any anti-theft problem with your vehicle, ensureALL coded
keysfor that vehicle are brought to the dealership, to aid in
troubleshooting.
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 coded key may cause vehicle starting problems. These objects
and devices cannot damage the coded key, 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 coded key in the ignition.
Spare coded keys can be purchased from your dealership and
programmed to your anti-theft system. Refer toProgramming spare
SecuriLockykeysfor more information.
If one or both of your coded keys 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 coded keys to your dealership for reinitialization.
