Description And Operation: Anti-Theft: Notes

NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).

The Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) uses radio frequency identification technology to deter a drive-away theft. Passive means that it does not require any activity by the user.

The vehicle can be equipped with either conventional PATS (standard equipment) or Intelligent Access (IA) with push button start (optional equipment). The conventional PATS vehicle uses an Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) key and the IA with push button start vehicle uses an IA key. The IA key uses radio frequency signals to be recognized by PATS as a valid, programmed key before PATS allows the vehicle to be started using the push button start.
