If the engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the vehicle will not change
ignition modes (ACC/ACCESSORY,
ON/RUN/START, OFF), and the
RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter.
Or, you may try placing the
transmitter in the transmitter pocket
located in the center console. See
“NO REMOTE DETECTED”under
Key and Lock Messages on
page 5‑34. If the ignition modes will not change
with the other transmitter, your
vehicle needs service. If the ignition
does change modes, the first
transmitter may be faulty. See
your dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a
new RKE transmitter programmed to
the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn new or replacement
RKE transmitters. Up to eight
transmitters can be programmed for
the vehicle. To program additional
transmitters, see
“Programming
Transmitters to the Vehicle” under

glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror's surface is
