If the key is in close proximity to or touching a key to the security system
(key with a built-in transponder chip) of another vehicle
The vehicle’s keys have built-in transponder chips that prevent the
engine from starting if a key has not been previously registered in

Never leave the keys inside the vehicle when you leave the vehicle.

the key has been removed
from the engine switch to indi-
cate that the system is operat-
ing.

ing after the registered key
has been inserted into the
