Testing the
Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1.
From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s window
and open the driver’s door.
Passlock@
2.
Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for
the SECURITY light to go out.
4.
Then reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door. This
should set
off
the alarm.
When the alarm is set the power door unlock switch
is
not operational.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
headlamps flash, check
to
see
if
the horn works. The
horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse, see
Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page
5-86.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do not
flash, the vehicle should be serviced by your dealer.
Your vehicle is equipped with the
Passlock@ theft-deterrent system.
Passiock@
is
a passive theit-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.
