PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM Principle of Operation The system prevents someone from starting the engine with an incorrectly coded key. Note: Do not leave correctly coded keys in the vehicle. Always take your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle. Coded Keys If you lose a key, you can obtain a replacement from an authorized dealer. If possible, provide them with the key number from the tag provided with the original keys. You can also obtain extra keys from an authorized dealer. Note: Have all of your remaining keys erased and recoded if you lose a key. Have replacement keys coded together with recoding your remaining keys. See an authorized dealer for further information.
