.A message that the steering wheel
must be turned and the vehicle
must be started again indicates
that the column lock mechanism
is bound, the column locking
device was unable to unlock the
steering column, and the vehicle
did not start. If this happens,
immediately turn the steering
wheel from side to side to unbind
the column lock. If this does not
unlock the steering column, turn
the vehicle off and open the driver
door to reset the system. Then
turn the vehicle on and
immediately turn the steering
wheel side to side for about
15 seconds. In some cases, it may
take significant force to unbind
the column.
To keep the steering column from
binding, straighten the front wheels
before turning off the vehicle.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0366.
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 vehicle is
turned off.
The immobilization system is
disarmed when the ignition is on and
a valid transmitter is found in the
vehicle.
The security light in the instrument
cluster comes on if 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 ever damaged,
you may not be able to start the
vehicle.
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
place the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket/insert next to the
center console storage area between
the driver and front passenger seats.
See
“Starting the Vehicle with a Low
Transmitter Battery” underRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation
0 8.
If the engine does not start with the
other transmitter or when the
transmitter is in the pocket/insert, the
vehicle needs service. See your dealer
who can 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.
