PASS-Key’
I1
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key
I1
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
11
is a passive
theft-deterrent system. It
works when you insert or
remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key
11
uses
a
resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
11
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 start and the SECURITY light is on, the
key may be dirty
or
wet.
Turn
the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wgit about three minutes and try
again.
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 fuse (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 Oldsmobile retailer
or a locksmith who can service the PASS-Key
11.
If
you accidentally use a key that has a damaged
or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work and the
SECURITY light will flash. But you don’t have to wait
three minutes before trying another ignition key.
See your Oldsmobile retailer or a locksmith who can
service the PASS-Key
11
to have a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and the
SECURITY
light comes
on and remains on, you will be able to restart your
engine if you
turn
it off. Your PASS-Key
11
system,
however, is not working properly and must be serviced
by your Oldsmobile retailer. Your vehicle is not
protected by the PASS-Key
11
system.
