Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0343.
Immobilizer Operation
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 vehicle is turned off.
The immobilization system is disarmed
when the ignition is on or in accessory
mode and a valid remote key is present 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.
The system has one or more remote keys
matched to an immobilizer control unit in
your vehicle. Only a correctly matched
remote key will start the vehicle. If the
remote key is ever damaged, you may not
be able to start your vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light may come 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 vehicle will not change ignition
modes, and the remote key appears to be
undamaged, try another remote key. Or,
you may try placing the remote key in the
remote key pocket located in the center
console. See Remote Key Operation 07. If the ignition mode will not change with
the other remote key or with a remote key
in the remote key pocket, your vehicle
needs service. If the ignition does change
modes, the first remote key may be faulty.
See your dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a new
remote key programmed to the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer system to
learn new or replacement remote keys. Up
to eight remote keys can be programmed
for the vehicle. To program additional
remote keys, see
“Programming Remote
Keys to the Vehicle” underRemote Key
Operation 07.
Do not leave the remote key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent
system in the vehicle.
