Controls and features 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 passive 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.
