Section 2 Features and Controls
87

One key is used for the
ignition, the doors and
all other locks.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer
removes the key tag and gives it to the first owner.
The tag has a code on it that tells your dealer
how to make extra keys. For vehicle security, keep
the key tag in a safe place and also record the
key number somewhere other than inside of
the vehicle. If you lose your key, you will be able
to have a new one made easily using the tag.Your vehicle may have an electronic immobilizer
designed to protect your car against theft. If
so, only keys with the correct electronic code can
be used to start the vehicle. SeeImmobilizer
Operation on page 106for additional information.
Even if a key has the same profile, it will not
start the engine if the electronic code is incorrect.
If you need a new key, contact your dealer
who can obtain the correct key code. Also see
Roadside Assistance Program on page 408.
Notice:If you ever lock your keys in your
vehicle, you may have to damage the vehicle to
get in. Be sure you have spare keys.

Immobilizer Operation
Your vehicle may have a passive theft-deterrent
system. The immobilizer system prevents your
vehicle from being started by unauthorized persons.
If your vehicle has an immobilizer system, your
vehicle has a special key that works with the
theft-deterrent system. There is a transponder in
the key head that is electronically coded. The
correct key will start the vehicle. An invalid
key immobilizes the engine. The immobilizer
system isolates the power supply to the ignition
system, the fuel pump and the fuel injectors.
The engine immobilizer is activated after the key is
turned to LOCK and removed from the ignition. The
security light located on the top center of the
instrument panel in the secondary information
center will flash when the immobilizer is active. If
the light does not flash after removing the key, have
the system checked by your dealer.
If the immobilizer system does not recognize the
electronic code when the key is turned to
START, the engine will not start and the security
indicator will continue blinking. If your key is ever
damaged, you may not be able to start your vehicle.
