This vehicle has theft-deterrent
features; however, they do not make
it impossible to steal.
Anti-Theft Alarm System
Your vehicle may have a content
theft-deterrent system.
The theft-deterrent system will not
arm when you lock the doors using
the key or the manual door lock.
It arms only when you use the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter.
Arming the System
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Close the doors, the windows, the hood, and the trunk or
liftgate.
Make sure that the windows are
closed, as the system can be
armed even if the windows
are open. 2. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF and
remove the key from the ignition.
If the key is inserted in the
ignition, the transmitter will not
arm the theft-deterrent system.
3. Lock the doors by pressing the lock button on the RKE
transmitter.
.The LED light on the
transmitter will flash once.
.All of the doors will lock.
.The hazard warning lamps
will flash once and the horn
will sound.
.The security light will flash
continuously to indicate that
the theft-deterrent system is
armed. The security light is
located on the center of the
instrument panel near the
clock.

30 seconds after disarming the
system using the transmitter, all of
the doors will automatically lock and
the theft-deterrent mode will re-arm.

Immobilizer
SeeRadio Frequency Statement on
page 13‑16 for information
regarding Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
rules and Industry Canada
Standards RSS-210/220/310.
Immobilizer Operation
The vehicle may have a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The immobilizer system prevents
the vehicle from being started by an
unauthorized person by isolating the
power supply to the ignition system,
the fuel pump, and the fuel injectors. The system is automatically armed
when the key is removed from
the ignition. You do not have to
manually arm or disarm the system.
The vehicle has a special key that
works with the theft-deterrent
system. There is a transponder in
the key head that is electronically
coded. The correct key will start the
vehicle. An invalid key immobilizes
the engine. If the key is ever
damaged, you may not be able to
start the vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle,
if the engine does not start and the
security light flashes or comes on,
there may be a problem with the
theft-deterrent system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and
the key appears to be undamaged,
try another key. At this time, you
may also want to check the fuse.
See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 10‑36. If the engine still does
not start with the other key, your
vehicle needs service. If the vehicle
does start, the first key may be
faulty. See your dealer who can
have a new key made.
Up to 10 keys may be programmed
for the vehicle. If you lose or
damage your keys, only a dealer
can have new keys made.
If you are ever driving and the
security light comes on and stays
on, you will be able to restart
the engine if you turn it off. The
theft-deterrent system, however, is
not working properly and must be
serviced by your dealer. Your
vehicle is not protected by the
theft-deterrent system at this time.
In an emergency, contact Roadside
Assistance. See Roadside
Assistance Program on page 13‑6.
