PASS-Key@II
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key@II
(Personalized Automotive Security System) theft
deterrent system. PASS-Key@II 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 stat and the SECURITY light is on or
you
get
the CLEAN KEY. ..WAIT
3
MINUTES message, the key
may be dirty or wet. Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wdit about three minutes and try
again. The security light may remain on during this
time.
If
the starter still won’t
work,
and the key 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 fuses (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 Aurora retailer or a
locksmith
who
can service the PASS-Key@II.
