Passlock
®
Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock
®
theft-deterrent system.
Passlock
®
is a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlock
®
enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder
is turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not
used or the ignition lock cylinder is tampered with,
the fuel system is disabled and the vehicle will
not start.
During normal operation, the security light will turn
off approximately five seconds after the key is
turned to RUN.
If the engine stalls and the security light flashes,
wait about 10 minutes until the light stops
flashing before trying to restart the engine.
Remember to release the key from START as
soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after three tries, the
vehicle needs service.
If the engine is running and the security light comes
on, you will be able to restart the engine if you turn
the engine off. However, your Passlock
®
system is
not working properly and must be serviced by your
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock
®
at this time. You may also want to check the fuse.
See Instrument Panel Fuse Block on page 504 and
Underhood Fuse Block on page 507. See your
dealer for service.
In an emergency, call the Roadside Assistance
Center. See Roadside Assistance Program
on page 542.
