The immobilization system is
disarmed when the ignition is placed
in ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN/
START and a valid transmitter is
found in the vehicle.
You do not have to manually arm or
disarm the system.
The system has one or more RKE
transmitters that are matched to an
immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
RKE transmitter starts the vehicle.
The vehicle may not start if the RKE
transmitter is damaged.
If the engine does not start and the
security light comes on, there may
be a problem with the immobilizer
system. Press the ENGINE START/
STOP button again.If the vehicle does not start and the
RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another RKE
transmitter. Or, place the transmitter
in the transmitter pocket. See
“NO
REMOTE DETECTED” underKey
and Lock Messages on page 5-38.
Check the fuse. See Fuses on
page 10-40. If the engine still does
not start with the other transmitter,
the vehicle needs service. If the
engine does start, the first
transmitter may be faulty. See your
dealer or have a new RKE
transmitter programmed to the
vehicle.
The immobilizer system can learn
new or replacement RKE
transmitters. Up to eight RKE
transmitters can be programmed for
the vehicle. To program additional
transmitters, see “Programming
Transmitters to the Vehicle” under
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation on page 2-3.
Do not leave the key or device that
disarms or deactivates the
theft-deterrent system in the vehicle.Exterior Mirrors

you could hit a vehicle on the
right. Check the inside mirror or
glance over your shoulder before
changing lanes.
The passenger side mirror is convex
shaped. A convex mirror's surface is
curved so more can be seen from
the driver seat.
