Anti-Theft - Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)
Anti-Theft
The Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) consists of the following components:
- Anti-theft indicator (located in the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC))
- Intelligent Access (IA) key
- Front passive start antenna (located in the bottom front of the floor console)
- Center passive start antenna (located in the bottom rear of the floor console)
- Rear passive start antenna (located under the liftgate scuff trim panel, under the liftgate striker)
- Backup transceiver (located in the rear of the floor console, behind the storage bin)
- Remote Functions Receiver (RFR) module (located above the headliner, near the driver side sun visor area)
- Remote Function Actuator (RFA) module (located behind the glove compartment)
- PCM (located in the engine compartment, under the RH cowl)
PATS protects the vehicle from theft by preventing the engine from starting unless a programmed IA key is used.
Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) Function
The vehicle is equipped with 2 IA PATS keys (Rotunda numbers are 164-R7030 for the mechanical key blade and 164-R7028 for the IA key, less the mechanical key blade). The IA key incorporates both the PATS functions and the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter functions in a single device. The IA key must be located inside the vehicle for vehicle starting. The RFA module accepts programming of up to 4 IA keys. Refer to Key Programming Using Diagnostic Equipment - Intelligent Access (IA) Using Diagnostic Equipment or Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys - Intelligent Access (IA) Using Two Programmed Keys for key programming information. If an attempt to program more than 4 IA keys is made, the additional IA key(s) cannot function in any way.
The PATS anti-theft indicator flashes every 2 seconds when the ignition is OFF to act as a visual theft deterrent. The indicator is not illuminated at any other time.
Backup Transceiver
The backup transceiver is located in the rear of the floor console and its associated backup transceiver slot is located in the floor console storage compartment. This slot allows the IA key to be placed in close proximity to the backup transceiver for starting purposes. If the vehicle does not start normally, place the IA key in the backup transceiver slot and attempt to start the vehicle.
It is not recommended to leave the IA key in the backup transceiver slot, as this decreases the security of the system.
Intelligent Access (IA) with Push Button Start Ignition Modes
The IA feature does not require a conventional key to enter or start the vehicle. Once inside the vehicle, the operator activates one of the ignition modes using the brake pedal and the push button start (START/STOP) switch.

MyKey(TM) Feature
The MyKey(TM) feature allows a restricted driving mode to be programmed into one (or more) key(s) supplied with the vehicle or into any (PATS) programmed spare key(s) to promote good driving habits. The MyKey(TM) is a restricted key for all consecutive key cycles until the MyKey(TM) restricted key is disabled. The remaining key(s) is referred to as an "administrator key" or admin key. There must always be at least one admin key. The Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) does not allow the last admin key to be programmed into a MyKey(TM) restricted key. Both the admin key and the MyKey(TM) can be used to see how many admin keys and MyKey(TM) restricted keys are programmed to the vehicle, and how many total miles have been driven with the MyKey(TM) restricted key active.
When the MyKey(TM) feature is programmed, several features are modified including:
Standard Restricted Features
- NOTE: The standard restricted features below cannot be configured in any way.
Belt-Minder(R) chimes periodically with the audio system muted until the driver safety belt is buckled. If Belt-Minder(R) has been disabled when the admin key is in the vehicle, Belt-Minder(R) still functions for the MyKey(TM) driver. Belt-Minder(R) cannot be disabled by the MyKey(TM) driver.
- Audible and visual low fuel warnings are issued when the programmed Distance To Empty (DTE) value is reached (typically 75 miles).
- The parking aid system (if equipped) and forward collision warning (if equipped) cannot be turned off.
Optional Restricted Features
- NOTE: The optional restricted features below can be configured to the customer preferences.
The volume of the audio system can be programmed to limit the volume to 45% of the maximum volume.
- Vehicle speed can be programmed to be limited to 130 km/h (80 mph). Audible and visual warnings are issued when the vehicle speed of 130 km/h (80 mph) is attained.
- Audible and visual warnings are issued when the preselected vehicle speed of 75, 90 or 105 km/h (45, 55 or 65 mph) is attained.
- The AdvanceTrac(R) always on feature can be configured on or off. If configured to always on, at this time the traction control cannot be disabled by the MyKey(TM) driver.
Refer to Information and Message Center in the Description and Operation portion of Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators for all of the MyKey(TM) system checks and system warning displays.
Refer to MyKey(TM) Programming Mykey or to the Owner's Literature for MyKey(TM) programming information.
