Your vehicle may be equipped with
an electronic engine immobilizer sys-
tem to reduce the risk of unautho-

inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, when-
ever you insert your ignition key into
the ignition switch and turn it to ON,
it checks and determines and verifies
that the ignition key is valid.
