Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key
I1
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
I1
is a passive
system. The system is
armed when the key is
removed from the ignition.
PASS-Key
I1
uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that is read by a decoder module in your vehicle. If the
key resistor matches the code stored in the vehicle
module, the vehicle’s fuel and starting systems will be
enabled. If an incorrect key is used, the vehicle’s fuel
and starting systems
are
disabled for three minutes.
Additional attempts during this lockout period will not
start the car.
If the engine does not start and the STARTING
DISABLED DUE
TO
THEFT SYSTEM, REMOVE
IGNITION KEY message is displayed in the Driver
Information Center, your
key
should be checked for
damage. Starting may be attempted with an undamaged
key immediately. See your Cadillac dealer or a
locksmith for key service.
If the STARTING DISABLED DUE
TO
THEFT
SYSTEM, REMOVE IGNITION KEY and WAIT
3
MINUTES messages are displayed, the key should
be cleaned and tried. After three minutes, try again.
A START CAR message will appear at this time.
If
the engine still does not start, wait
3
minutes and try a
duplicate key. At this time, fuses should be checked (see
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers’’ in the Index). If the engine
does not start with the duplicate key, your vehicle needs
service. See your Cadillac dealer for service.
If
the THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM message is
displayed during vehicle operation, your vehicle needs
servicing. Your vehicle will restart if you turn
it
off,
however, your vehicle may be unprotected. See your
Cadillac dealer for service.
If an ignition key is lost or damaged, see your Cadillac
dealer or a locksmith to have a new key made.
