Security System (if equipped)

When the lock button is pushed on the key fob, the security alarm will be enabled. The alarm will sound the horn and flash headlights if the engine start/stop button is pressed or the clutch/brake is pushed when the key fob is out of range.

The security system automatically immobilizes the engine when the key fob is outside of range and enables when the key fob is within range. If the key fob is lost or not within range, a passcode must be entered to operate the vehicle.

Change the factory-set passcode to a new user 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 user passcode and keep it in a safe location. Do not place your 4-digit passcode anywhere in the vehicle.

After the passcode is entered, a slight delay before the starter engages is normal.

Passcodes Using The Ride Command Display

If the vehicle is equipped with a Ride Command display, it is used to enter/edit passcodes if the key fob is not within range. Refer to the Display Screen section of this manual for more details on how to operate.

Passcode Entry - Ride Command Display

If the key fob is not found by the Vehicle Control Module (VCM), the Ride Command display will prompt the operator to enter a passcode to unlock vehicle operation.

Use the number pad to enter your user passcode or the master passcode.

NOTICE

If a user passcode has not been set, the master passcode must be entered. Inquire with your authorized dealer for master passcode entry.

If the entry is correct, the vehicle can be operated as normal.

If the entry is incorrect, the Ride Command screen will display “Incorrect Passcode. Try again.”

If over five unsuccessful attempts are made, the Ride Command screen will display “Too many passcode attempts. System will shut down.” This will require an ignition cycle before further attempts can be made.

If the new passcode verification is unsuccessful, the Ride Command screen will display “Enter Current Code” and you will need to re-enter the new passcode.

If the second verification attempt is unsuccessful, the Ride Command screen will display “New codes did not match”, and will prompt you to enter and verify a new passcode again.

Passcodes Using the Instrument Cluster

If the vehicle is not equipped with a Ride Command display, the instrument cluster is used to enter/edit passcodes if the key fob is not within range.
