Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement on

Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has PASS-Key®III+
(Personalized Automotive Security
System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key III+ is a passive
theft-deterrent system. 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 security light comes on if there
is a problem with the theft-deterrent
system operation.
When the PASS-Key III+ system
senses that someone is using the
wrong key, it prevents the vehicle
from starting. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start the
vehicle will be discouraged because
of the high number of electrical key
codes.
When trying to start the vehicle if
the engine does not start and the
security light on the instrument
cluster 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 does not appear to be
damaged, wait about five minutes
