The system has one or more
transmitters matched to an
immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
transmitter will start the vehicle.
If the transmitter is ever damaged,

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.
