SECURILOCKி 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.
