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 POWER
Ois
pressed and a valid transmitter is
found in the vehicle.
The security light on 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
immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle. Only a correctly matched transmitter will start the vehicle.
If the transmitter is damaged, you
may not be able to start the vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when
the vehicle is turned on.
If the vehicle 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 place the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket.
See
“Starting the Vehicle with a Low
Transmitter Battery” underRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation 033.
If the vehicle does not start with the
other transmitter or with the
transmitter placed in the transmitter
pocket, the vehicle needs service.

the theft-deterrent system and have
a new transmitter programmed to
the vehicle. Do not leave the transmitter or
device that disarms or deactivates
the theft-deterrent system in the
vehicle.
