VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED Modifications And
Add-On Equipment
FCA cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the vehicle security alarm system
operation if the system has been
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 vehicle 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 dealer.
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.
Note:
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 the warning
light keeps illuminating or flashing, the
system may have a malfunction.
Contact an authorized dealer.
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 dealer, and will
require some waiting time.
Always keep a spare key fob in
case one is lost. If a key fob is lost,
contact an authorized dealer as soon
as possible.
If you lose a key fob, an authorized
dealer will reset the electronic codes of
your remaining key fobs and
immobilizer system. Bring all the
remaining key fobs to an authorized
dealer to reset. Starting the vehicle
with a key fob that has not been reset
is not possible. Operation
The engine may not start and
warning light may illuminate or flash
if the key fob is placed in an area where
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.
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition
is cycled from the ON to OFF position.
The
warning light in the instrument
cluster flashes every two seconds until
the system is disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the
ignition is placed in the ON position with
the correct programmed key fob. The
warning light illuminates for about
three seconds and then turns off. If the
engine does not start with the correct
key fob, and the
warning light
remains illuminated or flashing, try the
following:
Make sure the key fob is within the
operational range for signal
transmission.
24
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Cycle the ignition off, and then restart
the engine. If the engine does not start
after three or more tries, contact an
authorized dealer.
Note:
If the warning light flashes
continuously while you are driving, do
not turn the engine OFF. Contact an
authorized dealer and have it checked.
If the engine is shut off while the
warning light is flashing, you will
not be able to restart it.
Because the electronic codes are
reset when the immobilizer system is
repaired, the keys are needed. Make
sure to bring all the key fobs to an
authorized dealer so that they can be
programmed.
Vehicle Security Alarm
System — If Equipped

detects an inappropriate entry into the
