Vehicle Alarm System The vehicle may have a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
The security light is near the center
of the instrument panel.
To arm the theft-deterrent system,
press
Q on the RKE transmitter
when all doors and the hood, on vehicles equipped with the remote
start feature only, are closed. The
security light will come on solid for
approximately 30 seconds and then

transmitter is pressed a second
time, the theft-deterrent system will
arm 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, on
vehicles equipped with the remote
start feature only, are opened
without using the key or pressing
Kon the RKE transmitter, the exterior
lamps flash and the horn will sound
for about 30 seconds. If
Q or
K on
the RKE transmitter is not pressed,
the alarm sounds and periodically
repeats. If the system does not
operate as described above, see
your dealer for service.
The theft-deterrent system does not
arm if you lock the doors with a key.

accident, always unlock a door with
the RKE transmitter or a key.

turn off the alarm by pressing
Q or
K on the RKE transmitter or by
placing the key in the ignition and
turning it to START.
Testing the Alarm To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower
the driver window and open the
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. Reach in through the window,
unlock the door with the manual
door lock, and open the door.
This should set off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it
should, but the vehicle's headlamps
flash, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To replace the fuse, see Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 10 ‑ 30 .
If the alarm does not sound or the
vehicle's headlamps do not flash,
see your dealer for service.

(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 the theft-deterrent
system operation.
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.

the engine does not start and the
security light on the instrument
cluster comes on, there may be a
problem with the theft-deterrent

again.
If the engine still does not start, and
the key does not appear to be
damaged, wait about five minutes
and try another ignition key and
check the fuse. See Fuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 10 ‑ 30 .

the other key, the vehicle needs
service. If the vehicle does start, the
first key may be faulty. See your
dealer who can service the
PASS-Key III+ to have a new
key made.

additional keys only. If all the
currently programmed keys are lost
or do not operate, you must see
your dealer or a locksmith who can
service PASS-Key III+ to have keys
made and programmed to the
system.
See your dealer 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
1stamped on it.
2. Insert the already programmed
key in the ignition and start the
engine. If the engine does not
start, see your dealer 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 – 4 if additional
keys are to be programmed.
If the PASS-Key III+ key is lost or
damaged, see your dealer or a
locksmith to have a new key made.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the
theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.
