Immobilizer Operation

This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the key is
removed from the ignition.
The system is automatically
disarmed when the vehicle is
started with the correct key. The key
uses a transponder that matches an
immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle and automatically disarms I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
Keys, Doors, and Windows
the system. Only the correct key
starts the vehicle. The vehicle may
not start if the key is damaged.
The immobilizer light, located in the
instrument panel cluster, comes on
if there is a problem with arming or
disarming the theft-deterrent
system. See Immobilizer Light on
page 5 22.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
immobilizer light comes on briefly
when the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the
immobilizer light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and
the key appears to be undamaged,
try another ignition key.
