Security System (Canada)

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.
  1. Unlock the security system. See Unlocking the Security System.
  2. With the engine off and the park brake engaged, press and release the MODE button repeatedly until “SECURE” displays in the gauge.
  3. Press and hold the MODE button until “SETCODE” displays.
  4. Press and hold the MODE button until “OldCodE” displays.
  5. Enter your existing passcode using the same process used to unlock the system.
  6. If the passcode is not correct, “bAd COdE” displays. Re-enter the correct passcode. If the passcode entered is correct, “NEWCodE” displays.
  7. Enter your new passcode using the same process used to unlock the system.
  8. When “CONFIRM” displays, re-enter the new passcode to confirm.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

Changing the Security Level

The security level can be changed at any time by using the following procedure.
  1. Unlock the security system.
  2. With the engine off and the park brake engaged, press and release the MODE button repeatedly until “SECURE” displays in the gauge.
  3. Press and hold the MODE button until “SETCODE” displays.
  4. Press and release the MODE button once to display the current security level.
  5. Press and hold the MODE button to cycle through the three security level options. Release the button when the desired security level displays.
  6. To save the displayed setting, press and release the MODE button once. “EXIT” will display.
  7. Press and hold the MODE button to exit the security menu.

Unlocking the Security System

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The gauge will display “ENtCOdE”.
  2. Press and release the MODE button once to advance the digit by one increment. Repeat until the desired digit displays.
  3. Press and hold the MODE button to save the digit and advance to the next digit.
  4. Repeat this process for the remaining 3 digits.
  5. When the fourth digit is saved, the system unlocks and “SUCCESS” displays in the gauge. If the passcode entered was not correct, the system remains locked and “BAdCOdE” displays in the gauge. Re-enter the correct passcode.
