Saturn 2009 VUE Hybrid - Manual (Page 75)

When trying to start the vehicle if
the engine does not start and
the security light on the instrument
panel cluster comes on, there
may be a problem with your
theft-deterrent system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start,
and the key appears to be not
damaged, wait about five minutes
and try another ignition key and
check the fuse. See Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-75.
If the engine still does not start
with the other key, the vehicle
needs service. If the vehicle does
start, the first key may be faulty.
See your dealer/retailer who
can service the PASS-Key
® III+
to have a new key made. In
an emergency, contact Roadside
Assistance. See Roadside
Assistance Program on page 7-5.
It is possible for the PASS-Key ® III+
decoder to “learn” the transponder
value of a new or replacement key.
Up to 10 keys may be programmed
for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming
additional keys only. If all the
currently programmed keys are
lost or do not operate, you must see
your dealer/retailer or a locksmith
who can service PASS-Key
® III+
to have keys made and programmed
to the system.
See your dealer/retailer or a
locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
® III+ to get a new key
blank that is cut exactly as the
ignition key that operates the system.
To program the new key:
1. Verify that the new key has
a 1 stamped on it.
2. Insert the already programmed
key in the ignition and start the
engine. If the engine does not
start, see your dealer/retailer
for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn
the key to LOCK/OFF, and
remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed
and turn it to the ON/RUN
position within five seconds of
the original key being turned
to the LOCK/OFF position.
The security light turns off once
the key has been programmed.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4
if additional keys are to be
programmed.
If the PASS-Key ® III+ key is lost or
damaged, see your dealer/retailer
or a locksmith to have a new
key made.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft
deterrent system in the vehicle.
