Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0357.
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 Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter leaves the vehicle.
The immobilization system is disarmed
when the ignition is turned on or in ACC/
ACCESSORY and a valid RKE transmitter is 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 RKE
transmitters matched to an immobilizer
control unit in the vehicle. Only a correctly
matched RKE transmitter will start the
vehicle. If the transmitter is ever damaged,
you may not be able to start the vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light may come on briefly when the
ignition is turned on.

Keys, Doors, and Windows 25
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 ignition will not change from off to
on or ACC/ACCESSORY, and the RKE
transmitter appears to be undamaged, try
another transmitter. Or, you may try placing
the transmitter in the cupholder in the
center console. SeeRemote Keyless Entry
(RKE) System Operation 07.
If the vehicle will not start with the other
transmitter, or with the transmitter in the
cupholder, the vehicle needs service. If the
vehicle does start, the first transmitter may
be faulty. See your dealer who can service
the theft-deterrent system and have a new
RKE transmitter programmed to the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer system to
learn new or replacement RKE transmitters.
Up to eight transmitters can be
programmed to the vehicle. To program
additional transmitters, see “Programming
Transmitters to the Vehicle” underRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation 07.
Do not leave the transmitter or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent
system in the vehicle.Exterior Mirrors
