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 the instrument cluster will operate as follows:
• When the ignition is OFF, the theft indicator will flash briefly every
two 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 three 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.
Procedure to program spare SecuriLock
ி
keys to your vehicle
New SecuriLock
keys must have the correct mechanical key cut for
your vehicle.
Conventional (non-SecuriLock
) keys cannot be programmed to your
vehicle.
The correct type of SecuriLock
key for your vehicle is identifiable by
the vehicle logo being on only one side if the key. If the vehicle logo is
on both sides, it is not the right key for your vehicle.
You will need to have two previously programmed SecuriLock
keys and
the new unprogrammed SecuriLock
key readily accessible for the
procedure. Please read and understand the entire procedure before you
begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed SecuriLock
key into the
ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to ON (maintain ignition in ON
for at least one second).
