START SEQUENCE
The
Remote Keyless Immobilizer
When the immobilzer
indicator light is flashing
moderately, the anti-theft
system is armed. The
flashing light will blink rapidly
when the ignition is on (the
system will still be armed).
To unarm the system, wave
the key fob in range of the
transponder antennae (#2 in
diagram). The light will go
off, and the car is then able
to start.
After you kill the ignition
switch the light will stay on
solid for 20 seconds.
If the starter switch is not
pushed within 20 seconds,
the system will re-arm, and
the sequence will need to be
repeated.
