PASS-Kev@ I1
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key
11
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 the system in your vehicle.
If
the key
resistor matches the code stored in the vehicle system,
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,
even with the correct key.
If
the engine does not start and the STARTING
DISABLED, REMOVE 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 dealer
or
a
locksmith for key service.
If
the STARTING DISABLED, REMOVE KEY and
WAIT
3
MINUTES messages are displayed, the key
should be cleaned. After three minutes,
try
again. A
START CAR message will appear at this time. If the
engine still does not start, wait three 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 dealer for service.
If
the THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM, CAR MAY NOT
START message is displayed during vehicle operation, a
fault has been detected in the system. This means
the
PASS-Key
I1
system is disabled and is not protecting
the vehicle. The vehicle usually restarts. See your dealer
for service.
If an ignition key
is
lost
or
damaged, see your dealer
or
a locksmith to have a new key made.
