Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine PASS-Key@ I1
1
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key I1
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
I1 is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
It works when you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key
I1 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
I1 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 stays
on when you
try to start the vehicle, the key may be
dirty or wet.
Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. 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 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 dealer 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. The
SECURITY light will flash. But you don’t have to wait
three minutes before trying another ignition key.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service the
PASS-Key
I1 to have a new key made.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If you’re ever driving and the SECURITY light comes
on and stays
on, you will be able to restart your engine
if you turn it off. Your PASS-Key I1 system, however,
is not working properly and must be serviced by
your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS-Key I1 system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key I1 ignition key, see
your dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key I1
to have a new key made. In an emergency, call the
