if it senses movement of the vehicle, such
as a change in vehicle orientation.
The intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle
interior, and can activate the alarm if it
senses unauthorized entry into the vehicle’s
interior. Do not allow passengers or pets to

Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0327.
Immobilizer Operation
The vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent
system.
The security light comes on in the
instrument cluster if there is a problem with
arming or disarming the theft-deterrent
system. This light also comes on briefly
when the engine is started.
The system is automatically armed when
the ignition is turned off.
The immobilization system is disarmed
when the ignition is turned on or placed in
accessory mode and a valid remote key is
found in the vehicle.
You do not have to manually arm or disarm
the system.
The system has one or more remote keys
that are matched to an immobilizer control
unit in the vehicle. Only a correctly matched
remote key starts the vehicle. The vehicle
may not start if the remote key is damaged. If the engine does not start and the security
light comes on, there may be a problem
with the immobilizer system. Try starting
the vehicle again.
If the vehicle does not start and the remote
key appears to be undamaged, try another
remote key. Or, place the remote key in the
cupholder backup location. See
Remote Key
Operation 07. If the engine still does not
start with the other remote key, or with the
remote key in the cupholder backup
location, the vehicle needs service. If the
engine does start, the first remote key may
be faulty. See your dealer or have a new
remote key programmed to the vehicle.
The immobilizer system can learn new or
replacement remote keys. Up to eight
remote keys can be programmed for the
vehicle. To program additional remote keys,
see “Programming Remote Keys to the
Vehicle” underRemote Key Operation 07.
Do not leave the remote key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent
system in the vehicle.
