joy riders or professional thieves
-
so
don’t do it.
When you park your Oldsmobile and
open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a
tone reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you.
Always do this. Your steering wheel will
be locked, and
so
will your ignition and
transaxle. And remember to lock the
doors.
Parking at
Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows
and lock your vehicle. Remember to
keep your valuables out of sight. Put
them in
a
storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking
Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will
be watching your vehicle, it’s best to
lock it up and take your keys. But what
if you have to leave your ignition key?
What if you have to leave something
valuable in your vehicle?
Put your valuables in a storage area,
like your trunk or glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
PASS-Key@ll
Your vehicle is equipped with the
PASS-ICey@II (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft
deterrent system. PASS-ICey@II is a
passive theft deterrent system. This
means you don’t have to do anything
different to arm or disarm the system. It
worlts when you insert or remove the
ltey from the ignition. PASS-I<ey@II
uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Keys11 system senses
that someone is using the wrong ltey, 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 ltey. Wait about three
minutes and try again. The security
light may remain on during this time. If
the starter still won’t work, and the ltey
appears to be clean and dry, wait about
three minutes and try the other ignition
ltey. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuses (see
Fuses
G
Circuit
Breakers
in the
Index).
If the starter
won’t work with the other ltey, your
vehicle needs service. If your vehicle
does start, the first ignition key may be
faulty. See your Oldsmobile dealer
or
a
locksmith who can service the PASS-
I<ey@II.
If you accidentally use a ltey that has a
damaged or missing resistor pellet, the
starter won’t work, and the
SECURITY
light will come on. But you
don’t have to wait three minutes before
trying one
of
the other ignition keys.
