Controls and features 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. Theft indicator The theft indicator on top of the instrument panel will operate as follows: • When the ignition is OFF, the theft indicator will flash briefly every 2 seconds to indicate the SecuriLock system is protecting your vehicle. • When the ignition is turned to ON or START, the theft indicator will light for 3 seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on for an extended period of time or flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealership or a qualified technician. Programming spare SecuriLockி keys Spare SecuriLock keys can be purchased from your dealership and programmed to your SecuriLock anti-theft system (up to a total of 8 keys). Your dealership can program your new SecuriLock key(s) to your vehicle or you can do it yourself using the following simple procedure. To program a new SecuriLock key yourself, you will need two previously programmed SecuriLock keys (keys that already operate your vehicle's engine). If two previously programmed SecuriLock keys are not available (one or both of your original keys were lost or stolen), you must bring your vehicle to your dealership to have the spare SecuriLock key(s) programmed. 76
