theft-deterrent system alarm was
activated while you were away.
Immobilizer
SeeRadio Frequency Statement on
page 13‑16 for information
regarding Part 15 of the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC)
rules and Industry Canada
Standards RSS-210/220/310.
Immobilizer Operation
The vehicle may have a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The immobilizer system prevents
the vehicle from being started by an
unauthorized person by isolating the
power supply to the ignition system,
the fuel pump, and the fuel injectors. The system is automatically armed
when the key is removed from
the ignition. You do not have to
manually arm or disarm the system.
The 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. If the key is ever
damaged, you may not be able to
start the vehicle.
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.
See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 10‑36. If the engine still does
not start with the other key, your
vehicle needs service. If the vehicle
does start, the first key may be
faulty. See your dealer 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
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. 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 13‑6.

head restraints in the outboard
seating positions.

spinal injury in a crash. Do not
drive until the head restraints for
all occupants are installed and

Sitting in a reclined position when

dangerous. Even when buckled
up, the safety belts cannot do
their job when reclined like this.
The shoulder belt cannot do its
job because it will not be against
your body. Instead, it will be in
front of you. In a crash, you could
go into it, receiving neck or other
injuries.
(Continued)
WARNING (Continued)
The lap belt cannot do its job
either. In a crash, the belt could
go up over your abdomen. The
belt forces would be there, not at
your pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well
back in the seat and wear the
safety belt properly.
Do not have a seatback reclined if
the vehicle is moving.
