SUBJECT:
INFORMATION ON NEW IGNITION KEY BAR CODED IDENTIFICATION TAG
MODELS/YEARS:
1993 EIGHTY EIGHT AND NINETY EIGHT
This bulletin applies to all models equipped with PASSKey theft deterrent system.
Beginning in late February 1993, all Eighty Eight and Ninety Eight models will be delivered with a bar code tag placed on the vehicle's key ring. A sample tag is shown in the illustration. With implementation of the bar code tag system, the knock-out plugs previously supplied on ignition keys will be deleted.
In addition to bar code information, printed key-cut codes will be included on the key tag. This information will replace the key-cut information which was previously stamped on the key knock-out plug. Please note that the key-cut codes on the label apply to the ignition keys only. Knock-out plugs will continue to be provided with door keys.
At the time of delivery, the bar code tag should be treated the same as knock-out plugs have been treated in the past. The ignition bar code tag and knock-out plugs from the door key should be provided to the owner at the time of delivery, and the owner should be advised to keep the tag and knock-out plugs in a safe place.
