modified or if any add-on equipment
has been installed.
Note:To avoid damage to the vehicle,
do not modify the system or install any
add-on equipment to the immobilizer
and the Security Alarm System or the
vehicle.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the
engine to start only with a key fob the
system recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized key fob, the
engine will not start, thereby helping to
prevent unlawful vehicle use.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key fob,
contact an Authorized Dealership.
To avoid damage to the key fob, do not:
Drop the key fob.
Get the key fob wet.
Expose the key fob to any kind of
magnetic field.
Expose the key fob to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel, hood, or under direct
sunlight.

Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
If the engine does not start with the
correct key fob, and thewarning
light keeps illuminating or flashing, the
system may have a malfunction.

The key fobs carry a unique
electronic code. For this reason, and to
assure your safety, obtaining a
replacement key fob can only be done
through your Authorized Dealership,
and will require some waiting time.

case one is lost. If a key fob is lost,
contact an Authorized Dealership as
soon as possible.

with a key fob that has not been reset
is not possible. Operation

it is difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the instrument panel.
Move the key fob to a location within
the signal range, cycle the ignition off,
and then restart the engine.
Note: Signals from a TV, radio station,
transceiver, or mobile telephone could
interfere with your immobilizer system.
If you are using the proper key fob and
the engine fails to start, check the
warning light.

is cycled from the ON to OFF position.
The
warning light in the instrument
cluster flashes every two seconds until
