Only the correct key will be able to start your vehicle. If your keys are lost or stolen, you must take your vehicle to your dealership for key reprogramming. The SecuriLock௢ 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௢ electronically coded keys provided with 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. If there is any potential SecuriLock௢ anti-theft problem with your vehicle, ensure ALL SecuriLock௢ keys for that vehicle are brought to the dealership, to aid in troubleshooting. 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. 77
