Immobilizer Operation

The vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent system.
The system is automatically armed when the ignition is
turned off.
The immobilization system is disarmed when the ignition
is turned to OFF/ACCESSORY or START and a valid
transmitter is found in the vehicle.
You do not have to manually arm or disarm the system.
The security light comes on if there is a problem with
arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
The system has one or more keyless access
transmitters that are matched to an immobilizer control
unit in the vehicle. Only a correctly matched keyless
access transmitter starts the vehicle. The vehicle
may not start if the keyless access transmitter is
damaged.

If the engine does not start and the security light comes
on, there may be a problem with the immobilizer
system. Press the START button again.
If the vehicle does not start and the keyless access
transmitter appears to be undamaged, try another
keyless access transmitter. Or, place the transmitter in
the transmitter pocket. See "NO FOBS DETECTED"
under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-51
for additional information. Check the fuse. See Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 6-103. If the engine
still does not start with the other transmitter, the vehicle
needs service. If the engine does start, the first
transmitter may be faulty. See your dealer/retailer or
have a new keyless access transmitter programmed to
the vehicle.
The immobilizer system can learn new or replacement
keyless access transmitters. Up to four keyless
access transmitters can be programmed for the vehicle.
To program additional transmitters, see "Matching
transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle" under Keyless Access
System Operation on page 3-5.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms or
deactivates the theft deterrent system in the vehicle.
