Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system.
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the transmitter
leaves the vehicle.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the ignition button is
pressed and a valid transmitter is
found in the vehicle.
The security light in the instrument
cluster comes on when there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system.
The system has one or more
transmitters matched to an

vehicle. Only a correctly matched
transmitter will start the vehicle. If the transmitter is ever damaged,
you may not be able to start your
vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when
the ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
vehicle off and try again.
If the RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter.
Or, you may try placing the
transmitter in the rear cupholder in
the center console. See
“Starting
the Vehicle with a Low Transmitter
Battery” underRemote Keyless
Entry (RKE) System Operation 029.
If the engine does not start with the
other transmitter or when the
transmitter is in the rear cupholder
in the center console, your vehicle
needs service. See your dealer who
can service the theft-deterrent
system and have a new transmitter
programmed to the vehicle.
