SecuriLock

T

 Passive

Anti-Theft System*

The SecuriLock

T

 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

T

 electronically

coded keys provided with your vehicle.
Each time you start your vehicle, the
SecuriLock

T

 key is read by the Securi-

Lock

T

 passive anti-theft system. If the

SecuriLock

T

 key identification code

matches the code stored in the Securi-
Lock

T

 passive anti-theft system, the

vehicle’s engine is allowed to start. If the
SecuriLock

T

 key identification code

does not match the code stored in the
system or if a SecuriLock

detected (vehicle theft situation), the
vehicle’s engine will not operate.

If there is any potential SecuriLock

T

anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensure 

ALL SecuriLock

T

keys

 for that

vehicle are brought to the dealership, to
aid in troubleshooting.

The SecuriLock

T

 passive anti-theft sys-

tem is not compatible with aftermarket
remote start systems. Use of these sys-
tems may result in vehicle starting prob-
lems and a loss of security protection.
Large metallic objects or devices such as
the Mobil Speedpass

T

 on the same key

ring as your SecuriLock

T

 key may

cause vehicle starting problems. These
objects and devices cannot damage
the SecuriLock

T

 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 Secu-
riLock

T

 ignition key.

Spare SecuriLock

T

 keys can be pur-

chased from your dealership and
programmed to your SecuriLock

T

passive anti-theft system. Refer to

‘‘Pro-

gramming spare SecuriLock

T

 keys’’

for more information.

If one or both of your SecuriLock

T

 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

T

 keys to your

dealership for reinitialization.
