Immobilizer Operation

(Keyless Access)

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 ignition
control knob is turned to LOCK/OFF.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the ignition control
knob is pushed in and a valid
transmitter is found in the vehicle.
The security light, located in the
instrument panel cluster, comes on
if there is a problem with arming
or disarming the theft-deterrent
system.

Keys, Doors, and Windows
One or more keyless access
transmitters can be matched to the
vehicle's immobilizer control unit.
Only a correctly matched keyless
access transmitter will start the
vehicle. If the keyless access
transmitter is ever damaged, you
may not be able to start your
vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle,
the security light comes on briefly
when the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition control knob off and try
again.
If the ignition control knob does not
rotate, and the keyless access
transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another keyless
access transmitter. Or, you may
try placing the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket located in the
center console. See Electronic Key
