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. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers
on page 6‑87. If the engine still does not start
with the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your
vehicle does start, the first key may be faulty. See your
dealer/retailer 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/retailer
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/retailer. 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 8‑6.
Content Theft-Deterrent
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 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.

drivers will not see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you
signal a turn, check for burned-out bulbs and then
check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers
