Immobilizer Operation (Key

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 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 the system. Only an
authorized key starts the vehicle. The vehicle
may not start if the key is damaged.
The security light, in the instrument cluster,
comes on if there is a problem with arming
or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
Keys, Doors, and Windows
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 off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the
key appears to be undamaged or the light
continues to stay on, try another ignition
key. If the engine does not start with the
other key, the vehicle needs service. If the
vehicle does start, the first key may be
damaged. See your dealer who can service
the theft-deterrent system and have a new
key made.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms
or deactivates the theft-deterrent system in
the vehicle.
Immobilizer Operation (Keyless
Access)
