SECURILOCKYPASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
The SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system provides
an advanced level of vehicle theft protection. Your
vehicle's engine can only be started with the two
special SecuriLockyelectronically coded keys
provided with your vehicle. Each time you start your
vehicle, the SecuriLockykey is read by the
SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system. If the
SecuriLockykey identification code matches the
code stored in the SecuriLockyanti-theft system,
the vehicle's engine is allowed to start. If the
SecuriLockykey identification code does not match
the code stored in the system or if a SecuriLocky
key is not detected (vehicle theft situation), the
vehicle's engine will not operate.
The SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system is not
compatible with aftermarket remote start systems.
Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting
problems and a loss of security protection. Large
metallic objects or devices such as the Mobil
Speedpassyon the same key ring as your
SecuriLockykey may cause vehicle starting
problems. These objects and devices cannot damage
the SecuriLockykey, but can cause a momentary
problem if they are too close to the key when
starting the engine. If a problem occurs. turn
ignition off and restart the engine with all other
objects on the key ring held away from the
SecuriLockyignition key.
Spare SecuriLockykeys can be purchased from
your dealership and programmed to your
SecuriLockypassive anti-theft system. Refer to
Programming spare SecuriLockykeysfor more
information.
If one or both of your SecuriLockykeys are lost or
stolen and you want to ensure the lost or stolen key
will not operate your vehicle, bring your vehicle and
all available SecuriLockykeys to your dealership for
reinitialization.
