Theft indicator
The theft indicator on the instrument cluster will operate as follows:
• When the ignition is OFF, the theft indicator will flash briefly every
two seconds to indicate the SecuriLock
system is protecting your
vehicle.
• When the ignition is turned to ON or START, the theft indicator will
light for three seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on
for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system
serviced by your dealership or a qualified technician.
Programming spare SecuriLock
ி
keys
Spare SecuriLock
keys can be purchased from your dealership and
programmed to your SecuriLock
passive anti-theft system (up to a
total of eight keys). Your dealership can program your new SecuriLock
key(s) to your vehicle or you can do it yourself using the following
simple procedure. To program a new SecuriLock
key yourself, you will
need two previously programmed SecuriLock
keys (keys that already
operate your vehicle’s engine). If two previously programmed
SecuriLock
keys are not available (one or both of your original keys
were lost or stolen), you must bring your vehicle to your dealership to
have the spare SecuriLock
key(s) programmed.
Procedure to program spare SecuriLock
ி
keys to your vehicle
New SecuriLock
keys must have the correct mechanical key cut for
your vehicle.
Conventional (non-SecuriLock
) keys cannot be programmed to your
vehicle.
You will need to have two previously programmed SecuriLock
keys and
the new unprogrammed SecuriLock
key readily accessible for the
procedure. Please read and understand the entire procedure before you
begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed SecuriLock
key into the
ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to ON (maintain ignition in ON
for at least one second).
2. Turn ignition to OFF and remove the first SecuriLock
key from the
ignition.
