Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine One key is used for the
ignition, the doors and all
other locks. (Note that
there is no lock cylinder
for
the tnxnk or the
passenger’s door.)
Your vehicle comes with a spare key.
This key does not
have an immobilizer pellet in it, however, it will still
unlock your vehicle’s doors. Because of the key’s flat
shape, it can be stored
in your wallet. If
you’ve lost your keys
or need to have a new one
made, you will have to contact your dealer for the
correct key code.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft.
You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle
if you ever
lock your keys inside and you may have to
damage your vehicle to get
in. Be sure you
have extra keys.

Your vehicle is equipped
with
a passive
theft-deterrent system.
This device complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)
this device may not cause harmful interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation
is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and
(2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device. Changes
or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
The system works when you
turn the key to ON. The key
uses a transponder that matches an immobilizer control
unit
in your vehicle. The correct key will start the vehicle.
When the system senses that someone is using the wrong key, it may
start but it will not continue to run. If someone
tries to
start your vehicle again or uses another key during
this time, the shutdown will start over again. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different keys
with different transponders in an attempt to make a match.
If the engine cannot be started, turn the key in the
ignition to
ON. Wait approximately two seconds; then
start your vehicle again.
If the engine still won’t start, try another key.
You may
also want to check the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in the Index).
If the starter won’t work with
the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle
does start, the first key may be faulty. See your dealer.
If you lose or damage a key or you cannot start the
engine, see your dealer. If a key
is lost, bring all
remaining keys to your dealer for re-programming. In
an emergency, call the Vehicle Roadside Assistance
Center at 1-800-882-1112.
