You can turn on the passive feature by moving the
transmitter's slider switch to ON. Now, when you move
toward your vehicle with the key fob transmitter, the
system will automatically disarm your theft
-deterrent
system and unlock the driver's door or both depending
on how the system is programmed. If it's dark enough
outside, your interior lamps will come on.
You can also use the buttons on the transmitter to
actively unlock your vehicle. Press UNLOCK once to
unlock the driver's door, or press UNLOCK again
within 10 seconds to unlock both doors.
Your memory settings will also be recalled when you
press the active door UNLOCK button on the key
fob transmitter. See ªMemoryº in the Index for
more information.
The hatch/trunk lid will unlock when the button with the
trunk symbol is pressed, as long as the ignition is turned
to OFF.If you move out of range with the slider switch set to
ON, the key fob transmitter will:

Lock both doors after five seconds.

Arm the theft-deterrent system.

Sound the horn and/or flash the exterior lamps to let
you know the doors are locked (if you have set your
options to do so). See ªDriver Information Center
Controls and Displaysº in the Index.

Turn off the interior lamps.
The system has a feature that makes it difficult for you
to lock your keys in your vehicle. If you leave your keys
in the ignition and attempt to lock the doors, the vehicle
will not lock and a chime will sound to remind you that
the keys are in the ignition. If the door lock is pressed
again, within five seconds, the doors will lock and the
keys can be locked in the vehicle. If you leave the keys
in the ignition and move away with the key fob
transmitter, the doors still will not lock. You should
notice that the horn doesn't sound.

The system will allow you to lock your keys in the
vehicle if you didn't leave them in the ignition (for
example, you leave the keys on the seat). You should,
however, be able to use the key fob transmitter to get
them out as long as the passive slide switch is in the ON
position. After 15 seconds of no motion, the key fob
transmitter shuts down to save the battery. Wait about
30 seconds, then rock the vehicle. The key fob
transmitter should ªwake upº and unlock the doors.
This system can't guarantee that you will never be
locked out of your vehicle. If the battery is low or if the
key fob transmitter is in a place where the signal can't
get to the antenna, it won't unlock the doors. Always
remember to take your keys with you.
Panic Alarm Button
When you press the special horn button on the key fob
transmitter, the horn will sound. This panic alarm button
will allow you to attract attention, if needed.
If the horn alarm sounds, there are three ways to turn
it off:

Push the panic alarm button again on the key
fob transmitter.

Wait 90 seconds, and the horn will turn off by itself.

Turn the key to any position in the ignition,
except OFF.RFA Settings
You can adjust the settings on the system through the
Driver Information Center (DIC). You can have just the
driver's or both doors lock passively unlock, change the
type of alarm used by the theft
-deterrent system, or have
the lamps come on when you approach the vehicle. See
ªDriver Information Center Controls and Displaysº in
the Index for more information.
Turning the System Off
You can disable the passive feature by moving the
transmitter's slider switch to OFF. The vehicle will no
longer automatically disarm your theft
-deterrent system
or unlock the doors. However, you will be able to
actively control the use of the door locks, the
hatch/trunk lid release and the panic alarm using the
four transmitter buttons. (These buttons also work
when the passive feature is on.)
Make sure to fully slide the switch to either side when
turning the key fob transmitter on and off. You
should feel a double click when sliding the switch back
and forth.
You can also check whether the passive system is on or
off by closing the door and moving away from the
vehicle with the key and key fob transmitter. If the doors
lock, the passive system is on.

Resynchronizing Your Transmitter
Your RFA system uses a continually changing code for
increased security. Normally, the receiver in your
vehicle will keep track of this changing code. If your
vehicle does not respond to your transmitter, do the
following to determine what's wrong:
1. Get closer to the vehicle and try pressing a button
again. Your battery may be low (If so, see ªBattery
Replacementº in the Index).
2. While standing close to your vehicle, press the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on your transmitter at
the same time and hold for seven seconds. This will
attempt to resynchronize the security code in your
RFA key fob transmitter.
3. When resynchronization is achieved, the horn
will chirp.
Loss of synchronization will occur after transmitter
battery replacement or disconnection of the
vehicle's battery.
If attempts to resynchronize your transmitter to the
vehicle are not successful, you may need to match the
transmitter to the vehicle. See ªMatching Transmitter(s)
to Your Vehicleº in the Index.
Remote Hatch/Trunk Lid Release
To use the remote hatch/trunk lid release on automatic
transmission vehicles, your vehicle must be in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N). For manual transmissions, set the
parking brake. See ªParking Brakeº in the Index.
Press the button with the trunk symbol on it, located at
the left
-hand side of the steering column on the
instrument panel, to release the hatch/trunk lid from
inside your vehicle.

Arming the System
Use one of the following items listed here to arm
the system:

Press the LOCK button on the key fob transmitter,

Walk out of range with the passive switch on, or

Open the door. (The SECURITY light should flash.)
Lock the door with the power door lock switch. The
SECURITY light will stop flashing and stay on.
Close the door. The SECURITY light should go off.
Testing the Alarm
Use the following to test the system:
1. Make sure the hatch/trunk lid is latched and set the
passive switch on the key fob transmitter to OFF.
2. Lower a window on the door.
3. Manually arm the system.
4. Close the doors and wait 15 seconds.
5. Reach through the open window and unlock the
door. Now open the door. The alarm should sound.
6. Turn off the alarm.If the alarm is inoperative, check to see if the horn
works. If not, check the horn fuse. See ªFuses and
Circuit Breakersº in the Index. If the horn works, but the
alarm doesn't go off, see your dealer.
Disarming the System
Always use your key or the key fob transmitter to
unlock a door. Unlocking a door any other way will set
off the alarm. If your alarm sounds, listed below are the
ways you can disarm it:

Unlock any door with your key.

Put the key in the ignition.

Press the UNLOCK button on the key
fob transmitter.

Walk into range with the passive switch on.

Now, if a door or the hatch/trunk lid is opened without
the key or the key fob transmitter, the alarm will go off.
Your horn will sound for two minutes, then it will go off
to save battery power. And, your vehicle won't start.
The theft
-deterrent system won't arm if you lock the
doors with a key, the manual door lock, or if you use the
power door lock after the doors are closed.
If your passenger stays in the vehicle when you leave
with the keys, have the passenger lock the vehicle after
the doors are closed. This way the alarm won't arm, and
your passenger won't set it off.
PASS-Key

Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS
-Key
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft
-deterrent system.
PASS
-Key is a passive
theft
-deterrent system. It
works when you insert or
remove the key from
the ignition.PASS
-Key uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key that
matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS
-Key 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 shutdown period will start over
again. This discourages someone from randomly trying
different keys with different resistor pellets in an attempt
to make a match.
The key must be clean and dry before it's inserted in the
ignition or the engine may not start. If the SECURITY
light comes on, the key may be dirty or wet.
If this happens and the starter won't work, turn the
ignition off. Clean and dry the key, wait three minutes
and try again. If the starter still won't work, wait three
minutes and try the other ignition key. At this time, you
may also want to check the fuses (see ªFuses and Circuit
Breakersº 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.
