Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive

vehicle. Only a correctly matched
transmitter will start the vehicle.
If the transmitter is ever damaged,
you may not be able to start the
vehicle.
If the engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
vehicle off and try again.
If the RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter or
place the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket/insert next to the
center console storage area between
the driver and front passenger seats.
See
“Starting the Vehicle with a Low
Transmitter Battery” underRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation 028.
If the engine does not start with the
other transmitter or when the
transmitter is in the pocket/insert, the
vehicle needs service. See your dealer
who can service the theft-deterrent
system and have a new transmitter
programmed to the vehicle.
Do not leave the transmitter or device
that disarms or deactivates the
theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.
