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 or in accessory mode and a
valid remote key is present 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
remote keys matched to an
immobilizer control unit in your
vehicle. Only a correctly
matched remote key will startthe vehicle. If the remote key
is ever damaged, you may not
be able to start your vehicle.
When trying to start the

ignition modes (accessory
mode, on, off), and the remote
key appears to be undamaged,
try another remote key. Or,

pocket located in the center
console. See Remote Key

programmed to the vehicle.
It is possible for the

new or replacement remote
keys. Up to eight remote keys
