PASS-Key
®
III+ uses a radio frequency transponder in
the key that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
PASS-Key
®
III+ Operation
Your vehicle is equipped with PASS-Key
®
III+
(Personalized Automotive Security System)
theft-deterrent system. PASS-Key
®
III+ is a passive
theft-deterrent system. This means you do not have to do
anything special to arm or disarm the system. It works
when you insert or remove the key from the ignition.
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.
When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does not
start and the security light on the instrument panel cluster
comes on, the key may have a damaged transponder.
Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to be
not damaged, try another ignition key. At this time, you
may also want to check the fuse, see Fuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-78. If the engine still does not start
with the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your
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. In an emergency, contact Roadside
Assistance. See Roadside Assistance Program on
page 7-6.
It is possible for the PASS-Key
®
III+ decoder to “learn”
the transponder value of a new or replacement key.
Up to 10 keys may be programmed for the vehicle. The
following procedure is for programming 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.
