2-26 Keys, Doors, and Windows
If the engine still does not start and
the key appears to be undamaged
or the light continues to stay on, try
another key.
If the engine still 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.
It is possible for the theft-deterrent
system decoder to learn the
transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to 10 keys
can be programmed for the vehicle.
The following procedure is for
programming additional keys only.
To program a new key:
1. Verify that the new key has
1
stamped on it.
2. Insert the current key in the
ignition and start the engine.
If the engine will not start, see
your dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn
the key to LOCK/OFF, and
remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed
and turn it to ON/RUN within
five seconds of the ignition being
turned to LOCK/OFF in Step 3.
5. The security light will turn off
once the key has been
programmed. It may not be
apparent that the security light
went on due to how quickly the
key is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if
additional keys are to be
programmed.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft
deterrent system in the vehicle.
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.
