Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have
a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.
Arming the System
With the ignition off, you can arm the system
by pressing the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter lock button or the power door lock
switch while the driver’s door is open.The system will arm thirty seconds after all the
doors are closed, or sixty seconds with any
door open.
If you press the lock button on the transmitter a
second time while all the doors are closed, the
system will arm immediately. The system will still
arm in sixty seconds if a door is open. When the
open door is closed, the system will arm.
The security light, located on the instrument panel
cluster, will turn on to indicate that arming has been
initiated. Once the system is armed, the security
light will ash once every three seconds.
If the security light is ashing twice per second,
this means that a door is open.
If you do not want to arm the system, you may
lock the car with the lock levers on the doors.
Disarming the System
Press the RKE transmitter unlock button, or turn
the ignition to ON to disarm the system.
Once the system is disarmed, the security light will
stop ashing.
118

How the System Alarm is Activated
If the system is armed, it can be activated by:
Opening the driver’s door or trunk. This
will cause a ten second pre-alarm chirp
followed by a thirty second full alarm of horn
and lights.
Opening any other door. This will immediately
cause a full alarm of horn and lights for
thirty seconds.
Opening the hood. If the vehicle has the
remote start feature, it will activate the
full alarm.
When an alarm event has nished, the system will
re-arm itself automatically.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
To turn off the system alarm, do one of the
following:
Press the lock button on the RKE transmitter.
The system will then re-arm itself.
Press the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter. This will also disarm the system.
Insert the key in the ignition and turn it on. This
will also disarm the system.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If you hear three chirps when the unlock or lock
button is pressed on the RKE transmitter, it means
that the content theft security system alarm was
previously triggered.

PASS-Key®III+
The PASS-Key®III+ system operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry
Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
PASS-Key
®III+ uses a radio frequency
transponder in the key that matches a decoder
in your vehicle.
PASS-Key®III+ Operation
Your vehicle has the PASS-Key®III+
(Personalized Automotive Security System)
theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key
®III+ is a
passive theft-deterrent system. This means you do
not have to do anything special to arm or disarm
the system. It works when you insert or remove the
key from the ignition.
When the PASS-Key
®III+ system senses that
someone is using the wrong key, it prevents the
vehicle from starting. 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 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.
Also, check the fuse. SeeFuses on page 415.Ifthe
engine still does not start with the other key, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the
rst key may be faulty. See your dealer who can
service the PASS-Key
®III+ and have a new key
made. In an emergency, contact Roadside
Assistance.
