Parking
Lots
If you park in
a
lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your ignition key? What if
you
have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?

or glove box.
Your vehicle
is
equipped
with
the
PASS-Key I1
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key I1 is a passive
theft-deterrent system. It
works when you insert or
remove
the
key from
the
ignition.
PASS-Key I1 uses a resistor pellet
in
the ignition key
that matches
a
decoder
in
your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key I1 system senses that someone is
using the wrong key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems.
For
about three minutes, the starter
won’t work and
fuel
won’t go to the engine.
If
someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different
keys
with
different resistor pellets in an attempt to make
a match.
The ignition
key
must be clean and dry before it’s
inserted in the ignition or the engine may not start.
If
the
engine does not start and the SECURITY light is on, the
key may be dirty or wet. Turn
the
ignition
off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait about three minutes and try
again. The SECURITY light may remain on during this
time. If
the
starter still won’t work, and the key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes and try
another ignition key. At this time, you may also want to
check the fuse (see
“Fuses
and Circuit Breakers” in
the
Index).
If
the starter won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service.
If
your vehicle does start, the first
ignition key may be faulty. See your Buick dealer or
a
locksmith
who
can service the PASS-Key 11.
