Testing the Alarm
To test the system, do the following:
1. Make sure the hatch/trunk lid is latched.
2. Lower the window on the driver’s door.
3. Manually arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait 15 seconds.
5. Reach through the open window and manually
unlock the driver’s door.
6. Open the door. The alarm should sound.
7. Turn off the alarm.
If the alarm is inoperative, check to see if the horn
works. If not, check the horn fuse. See
Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-86
. If the horn works, but the
alarm doesn’t go off, see your dealer.
Disarming the System
Always use your key or the remote keyless entry
transmitter to unlock a door. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm. If your alarm sounds, listed
below are the ways you can disarm it.
• Unlock the driver’s door with your key.
• Put the key in the ignition.
• Press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
PASS-Key
®
Your vehicle is equipped
with the
PASS-Key
®
(Personalized
Automotive Security
System) theft-deterrent
system. PASS-Key
®
is a
passive theft-deterrent
system. It works when you
insert or remove the key
from the ignition.
PASS-Key
®
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 shutdown period will
start over again. This discourages someone from
randomly trying different keys with different resistor
pellets in an attempt to make a match.
