PASS-Key@II
Your vehicle
is
equipped with the
PASS-Key%
(Personalized
Automotive Security
System) theft deterrent
system. PASS-Key%
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. PASS-Key@II uses a
resistor pellet in the ignition key that matches
a
decoder
in your vehicle.
When
the
PASS-Key% system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter
won’t work and fuel won’t go to the engine.
If
someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not start.
This
discourages someone from randomly trying different
keys with different resistor pellets in
an
attempt to make
a match.
The ignition key must be clean and
dry
before it’s
inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start.
If
the
engine does not start and the PASS
KEY
light comes on,
the key may be dirty or wet. Turn the ignition off.
Clean and
dry
the key. Wait about three minutes and
try
again. The PASS
KEY
light may remain on during this
time. If the starter still won’t work, and the (ey appears
to be clean and
dry,
wait about three minutes and
try
another ignition key. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the
Index).
If
the starter won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service.
If
your vehicle does start, the first
ignition key may be faulty. See your Buick dealer
or
a
locksmith who can service the PASS-Key%.
