3. After the engine has started,

Do not leave the key or device that

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.
The system has one or more
keyless access transmitters that are
matched to an immobilizer control
unit in your vehicle. 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
