of time or flashes rapidly, have the system serviced by your dealership or
a qualified technician.

dealership can program your key or you can "do it yourself." Refer to
Programming spare keys.
The following items may prevent the vehicle from starting:
• Large metallic objects
• Electronic devices on the key chain that can be used to purchase
gasoline or similar items
