Testing the Alarm

The alarm can be tested by following these steps:

1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s window

and open the driver’s door.

2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the

power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.

3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for the

SECURITY light to go out.

4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door

with the manual door lock and open the door. This
should set off the alarm.

If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
vehicle’s headlamps flash, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse,
see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Index.

If the alarm does not sound or the vehicle’s headlamps
do not flash, the vehicle should be serviced by an
authorized service center.

Passlock

R

Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock
theft

-

deterrent system.

Passlock is a passive theft

-

deterrent system. Passlock

enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder is turned with a
valid key. If a correct key is not used or the ignition lock
cylinder is tampered with, fuel is disabled.

During normal operation, the SECURITY light will go
off approximately five seconds after the key is turned to
the RUN ignition position.

If the engine stalls and the SECURITY light flashes,
wait about 10 minutes until the light stops flashing
before trying to restart the engine. Remember to release
the key from START as soon as the engine starts.

If the engine does not start after three (3) tries, the
vehicle needs service.

If the engine is running and the SECURITY light comes
on, you will be able to restart the engine if you turn the
engine off. However, your Passlock system is not working
properly and must be serviced by your dealer. Your vehicle
is not protected by Passlock at this time. You may also
want to check the fuse (see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index). See your dealer for service.
