The system has one or more
keyless entry transmitters that are
matched to an immobilizer control
unit in your vehicle. Only a correctly
matched keyless entry transmitter
will start the vehicle. If the keyless
entry 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 off and try again.
If the vehicle will not change
ignition modes (ACC/ACCESSORY,
ON/RUN/START, OFF), and the
keyless entry transmitter appears to
be undamaged, try another keyless
entry transmitter. Or, you may
try placing the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket located in the
center console. See“No Remote
Detected” underKey and Lock
Messages on page 5‑36. If the ignition modes will not
change with the other transmitter,
your vehicle needs service. If the
ignition does change modes, the
first transmitter may be faulty.
See your dealer who can service
the theft-deterrent system and have
a new keyless entry transmitter
programmed to the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn new or replacement
keyless entry transmitters. Up to
eight keyless entry transmitters
can be programmed for the vehicle.
To program additional transmitters,

A convex mirror can make things,
like other vehicles, look farther
away than they really are. If you
cut too sharply into the right lane,
you could hit a vehicle on the
right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror's surface is
curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.
