To program the new key:
1. Insert the ignition key in the ignition and start the
engine. If the engine will not start see your dealer
for service.
2. After the engine has started, turn the key to OFF, and
remove the key.
3. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to RUN
within 10 seconds of removing the previous key.
4. The PASS KEY light will turn off once the key has
been programmed. It may not be apparent that the
PASS KEY light went on due to how quickly the key
is programmed.
5. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys are to
be programmed.
If you are ever driving and the PASS KEY light comes
on and stays on, you will be able to restart your engine if
you turn it off. Your PASS
- Key III system, however, is
not working properly and must be serviced by your
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the PASS
- Key
III system at this time.
If you lose or damage a PASS - Key III key, see your
dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS - Key III to
have a new key made.
New Vehicle “Break - In”
NOTICE:
Your vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate
“break
- in.” But it will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
D Don’t drive at any one speed
-- fast or
slow -- for the first 500 miles (805 km).
Don’t make full - throttle starts.
D Avoid making hard stops for the first
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this breaking
- in guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
D Don’t tow a trailer during break - in.
See “Towing a Trailer” in the Index for
more information.
