The system has one or more RKE
transmitters matched to an
immobilizer control unit in the
vehicle. Only a correctly matched
RKE transmitter will start the
vehicle. If the transmitter is ever
damaged, the vehicle may not start.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light may come 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
ignition off and try again.
If the vehicle will not change ignition
modes, and the RKE transmitter
appears to be undamaged, try
another transmitter. Or, try placing
the transmitter into the transmitter
pocket located in the center
console. See Starting the Vehicle
With a Low Transmitter Battery
underRemote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation 08. If the ignition mode will not change
with the other transmitter or with a
transmitter in the transmitter pocket,
your vehicle needs service. If the
ignition does change modes, the
first transmitter may be faulty. See
your dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a
new RKE transmitter programmed to
the vehicle.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn new or replacement
RKE transmitters. Up to eight
transmitters can be programmed for
the vehicle. To program additional
transmitters, see Programming
Transmitters to the Vehicle under
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
08.
Do not leave the transmitter or
device that disarms or deactivates
the theft-deterrent system in the
vehicle.Exterior Mirrors
Convex Mirrors
{Warning
A convex mirror can make things,
like other vehicles, look farther
away than they really are. If you
cut too sharply into the adjacent
lane, you could hit a vehicle that
is driving next to you. 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.
