condition that may become serious enough to cause
expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate
when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s
functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start
your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any
light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the
respective system inspected immediately.

start systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and a loss of security
protection.
Note:Large metallic objects, electronic devices that
are used to purchase gasoline or similar items, or a
second coded key on the same key chain may cause
vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while starting
the engine. These objects will not cause damage to
the coded key, but may cause a momentary issue if
they are too close to the key when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off,
remove all objects on the key chain away from the
coded key and restart the engine.

indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLock
system,
the indicator will flash rapidly or glow steadily when
the ignition is in the ON position. If this occurs, the
vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer for
service.
