Your SLINGSHOT vehicle
is equipped with a security system for theft and roll-away protection.
The security system automatically
immobilizes the engine when the ignition is switched
off, and enables the engine when the ignition is switched on and a
passcode
is entered. After the passcode is entered, a slight
delay before the starter engages is normal.
Change the factory-set
passcode to a new passcode of your own choosing and select the desired
security setting as soon as
possible after receiving delivery of your new SLINGSHOT
vehicle. Record your new passcode and keep it in a safe location.
Do not place your
4-digit passcode anywhere in the vehicle.
| NOTICE |
| The park brake must be engaged for the SECURITY menu to be accessible
in the gauge. |
Changing the Passcode
The factory-set
passcode is 0000. Enter this passcode at step 5 the first time you
change the passcode.
- Unlock the security
system. See Unlocking
the Security System.
- With the engine off
and the park brake engaged, press and release the MODE button repeatedly
until “SECURE” displays in the
gauge.
- Press and hold the
MODE button until “SETCODE” displays.
- Press and hold the
MODE button until “OldCodE” displays.
- Enter your existing
passcode using the same process used to unlock the system.
- If the passcode is
not correct, “bAd COdE” displays. Re-enter the correct passcode. If
the passcode entered is correct, “NEWCodE”
displays.
- Enter your new passcode
using the same process used to unlock the system.
- When “CONFIRM” displays,
re-enter the new passcode to confirm.
- If the two entries
do not match, “bAd COdE” displays and you’ll be returned to step 7.
If the two entries match, “SUCCESS”
displays. The passcode has been changed.
- Record your new passcode
and keep it in a safe location. Do not place your 4-digit passcode anywhere in the vehicle.
Security Levels
The security system
offers three security levels as outlined below:
| Security Level |
Engine Starting Requirements |
| PASSIVE (default setting) |
When set to PASSIVE, use of the ignition key
is required. Manual entry of your passcode is not required. |
| ACTIVE |
When set to ACTIVE, you will be prompted to
press the MODE button within 10 seconds of turning the ignition switch
off. The
system will then require manual entry
of your passcode the next time the ignition switch is turned on. See
Unlocking the Security
System. If you fail to press the MODE
button within the allotted time, the system will not require manual
entry of your passcode
the next time the ignition switch is
turned on.
|
| AUTO |
When set to AUTO, the system requires manual
entry of your passcode every time the ignition switch is turned on. |

Level
The security level
can be changed at any time by using the following procedure.

system.

and the park brake engaged, press and release the MODE button repeatedly
until “SECURE” displays in the
gauge.
