See Radio Frequency Statement 0 426.
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 vehicle is started or the ignition is in ACC/ACCESSORY and a valid transmitter 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 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, you may not be able to start your vehicle.
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 (ACC/ACCESSORY, on, off), and the RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter.
Or, you may try placing the
transmitter in the transmitter pocket located in the center console.
If the ignition modes will not change with the other transmitter or with the transmitter in the transmitter pocket, your vehicle needs service. If the
ignition does change modes, the first transmitter may be faulty. See your
dealer.
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
