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 in the instrument
cluster, comes on if there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system.
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
Not Detected ” under Key and Lock
Messages on page 5 ‑ 36 .
If the ignition control knob still does
not rotate with the other transmitter,
the vehicle needs service. If the
ignition control knob does rotate, the
first transmitter may be faulty. See
your dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a
new keyless access transmitter
programmed to the vehicle.
