What type of anti-theft device does the HHR have?

from the manual online....

Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have
a content theft-deterrent
alarm system. If your
vehicle has remote
keyless entry, then it
has content
theft-deterrent.

PASS-Key III+

Hollow points.......:lol:

I like that one the best but I doubt Geico will give me a discount on that! :lol:

Me too.... But Howdy is correct, I think that is the only one with the HHR factory. Anything else would be afternarket.

So it is pretty much it is just a passive ignition cut right?

PASS-Key® III+ Operation
Your vehicle has PASS-Key® III+ (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key® III+ is a passive theft-deterrent system.
This means you do not have to do anything special to
arm or disarm the system. It works when you insert
or remove the key from the ignition.
When the PASS-Key® III+ system senses that someone
is using the wrong key, it prevents the vehicle from
starting. Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start
the vehicle will be discouraged because of the high
number of electrical key codes.

This is a dumb question, but when would the theft alarm go off? Ken and a friend shook our car and nothing happened. Does someone actually have to break the door lock or monkey with the ignition for it to go off? We had anti theft on our Saturn and someone broke the window on the driver side while Ken was hiking North Mountain and nothing happened, no alarm, no beeping, and the alarm was set. No one tried to steal the car, they were just looking for wallets and purses to steal. Cars get broken into weekly at North Mountain, but not to steal the car, they're just looking for money, thinking hikers might leave wallets behind.
