Vehicle Security
Vehicle theft is big business,
especially in some cities. This
vehicle has theft-deterrent features,
however, they do not make it
impossible to steal.
Anti-Theft Alarm System
Your vehicle may have a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
United States shown,Canada similar
The security light is located near the
center of the instrument panel. To arm the theft-deterrent system,
press
Qon the RKE transmitter
when all doors and the hood
(vehicles started with the remote
start feature only) are closed. The
security light will come on solid for
approximately 30 seconds and then
flashes slowly. If
Qon the RKE
transmitter is pressed a second
time, the theft-deterrent system will
activate immediately, bypassing the
30 second delay. The content theft
deterrent alarm is not armed until
the security light flashes slowly.
If any door, liftgate or the hood
(vehicles started with the remote
start feature only) are opened
without using the key or pressing
K
on the RKE transmitter, the exterior
lamps flash and the horn will sound
for about 30 seconds. If
QorKon
the RKE transmitter is not pressed, the alarm sounds and periodically
repeats. If the system does not
operate as described above, see
your dealer/retailer for service.
The theft-deterrent system also
activates if you lock the doors with
a key.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident, always unlock a door with
the RKE transmitter or a key.
Unlocking a door any other way will
set off the alarm if the system has
been armed.
If you set off the alarm by accident,
turn off the alarm by pressing
Qor
Kon the RKE transmitter or by
placing the key in the ignition and
turning it to START.

driver door.
2. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and activate the system by
locking the doors with the RKE
transmitter.
3. Wait for the security light to flash slowly.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door with the

flash, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse may be blown.

Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has PASS-Key®III+
(Personalized Automotive Security
System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
®III+ is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed
when the key is removed from the
ignition.
You do not have to manually arm or
disarm the system. The security light comes on if there
is a problem with arming or
disarming the theft-deterrent
system.
When the PASS-Key
®III+ system
senses that someone is using the
wrong key, it prevents the vehicle
from starting. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start the
vehicle will be discouraged because
of the high number of electrical key
codes.
When trying to start the vehicle if
the engine does not start and the
security light on the instrument
panel cluster comes on, there
may be a problem with your
theft-deterrent system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.

If the engine still does not start, and
the key appears to be not damaged,
wait about five minutes and try
another ignition key and check the
fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers
on page 10‑37. If the
engine still does not start with the
other key, the vehicle needs service.
If the vehicle does start, the first key
may be faulty. See your dealer/
retailer who can service the

It is possible for the PASS-Key
®III+
decoder to “learn”the transponder
value of a new or replacement key.
Up to 10 keys may be programmed
for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming additional keys only. If all the
currently programmed keys are lost
or do not operate, you must see
your dealer/retailer or a locksmith
who can service PASS-Key
®III+ to
have keys made and programmed
to the system.
See your dealer/retailer or a
locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
®III+ to get a new key
blank that is cut exactly as the
ignition key that operates the
system.
To program the new key:
1. Verify that the new key has a
1
stamped on it.
2. Insert the already programmed key in the ignition and start the
engine. If the engine does not
start, see your dealer/retailer for
service. 3. After the engine has started, turn
the key to LOCK/OFF, and
remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to the ON/RUN
position within five seconds of
the original key being turned to
the LOCK/OFF position.
The security light turns off once
the key has been programmed.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys are to be
programmed.
If the PASS-Key
®III+ key is lost or
damaged, see your dealer/retailer
or a locksmith to have a new
key made.
