During normal operation, the security light will go off
approximately five seconds after the key is turned to the
RUN ignition position following an engine start.
If the engine stalls and the security light flashes, wait
until the light stops flashing before trying to restart
the engine. Remember to release the key from START
as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is running and the security light comes on,
you will be able to restart the engine if you turn the
engine off. However, your Passlock
®
system is
not working properly and must be serviced by your
retailer. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock
®
at
this time. You may also want to check the fuses,
see Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-92. See your
retailer for service. Also, see Roadside Assistance
Program on page 7-6 for more information.
Starting and Operating Your

New Vehicle Break-In
Notice: Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it will perform better in the long run
if you follow these guidelines:
• Do not drive at any one speed — fast or
slow — for the first 500 miles (805 km). Do not
make full-throttle starts.
• Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles
(322 km) or so. During this time your new brake
linings are not yet broken in. Hard stops with new
linings can mean premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline
every time you get new brake linings.
• Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See Towing a
Trailer on page 4-40 for more information.
