SECURILOCK ி PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
The SecuriLock
௢ passive anti-theft system provides
an advanced level of vehicle theft protection. Your
vehicle’s engine can only be started with the two
special SecuriLock
௢ electronically coded keys
provided with your vehicle. Each time you start your
vehicle, the SecuriLock
௢ key is read by the
SecuriLock
௢ passive anti-theft system. If the
SecuriLock
௢ key identification code matches the
code stored in the SecuriLock
௢ anti-theft system,
the vehicle’s engine is allowed to start. If the
SecuriLock
௢ key identification code does not match
the code stored in the system or if a SecuriLock
௢
key is not detected (vehicle theft situation), the
vehicle’s engine will not operate.
The SecuriLock
௢ passive 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
Speedpass
௢ on the same key ring as your
SecuriLock
௢ key may cause vehicle starting
problems. These objects and devices cannot damage
the SecuriLock
௢ key, 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
SecuriLock
௢ ignition key.
Spare SecuriLock
௢ keys can be purchased from
your dealership and programmed to your
SecuriLock
௢ passive anti-theft system. Refer to
Programming spare SecuriLock
௢ keys for more
information.
If one or both of your SecuriLock
௢ keys 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 SecuriLock
௢ keys to your dealership for
reinitialization.
