How
to
Test the
Alarm
The alarm can be tested by first having the driver’s
window down. Activate the system by locking
the
doors
.
with the power door lock switch or the Remote Keyless
Entry transmitter. Get out of the car, close the door and
wait for the SECURITY light to go out. Then reach in
through the window,
unlock
the door with the manual door
lock and open the door.
This
should set
off
the
alarrn.
If
the alarm does not sound when it should, check to
see
if
the horn works. The horn fuse may be blown.
To
replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in
the Index.
To
reduce the possibility of theft, always activate the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.
PASS-Key@
I1
Your vehicle is equipped
with
the
PASS-Key
11
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS,-Key
II
is a passive
theft-deterrent system.
It works when you insert
or remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key
11
uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
II
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 vehicle will not start.
This
discourages someone
from randomly trying different keys with different resistor
pellets
in
an
attempt to make a match.
