To avoid damage to the key fob, do not:

Drop the key fob.

dealer will reset the electronic codes of

your remaining key fobs and

immobilizer system. Bring all the

remaining key fobs to an authorized

dealer to reset. Starting the vehicle

with a key fob that has not been reset

is not possible.

Disarming

The system is disarmed when the

ignition is placed in the ON position with

the correct programmed key fob. The

warning light illuminates for about

three seconds and then turns off. If the

engine does not start with the correct

key fob, and the

remains illuminated or flashing, try the

following:

Get the key fob wet.

Expose the key fob to any kind of

magnetic field.

Expose the key fob to high

temperatures such as direct sunlight.

warning light

Operation

The engine may not start and

warning light may illuminate or flash

if the key fob is placed in an area

difficult for the system to detect the

signal, such as on the instrument panel.

Move the key fob to a location within

the signal range, place the ignition in

the OFF position, and restart the

engine.

Note:

Make sure the key fob is within the

operational range for signal

transmission.

Changes or modifications not

expressly approved by the party

responsible for compliance could void

the user's authority to operate the

equipment.

Cycle the ignition off, and then restart

the engine. If the engine does not start

after three or more tries, contact an

authorized dealer.

If the engine does not start with the

correct key fob, and the

warning

light keeps illuminating or flashing, the

system may have a malfunction.

Contact an authorized dealer.

Note:

Note: Signals from a TV, radio station,

transceiver, or mobile telephone could

interfere with your immobilizer system. If

you are using the proper key fob and

the engine fails to start, check the

warning light.

If the

warning light flashes

continuously while you are driving, do

not turn the engine OFF. Contact an

authorized dealer and have it checked.

If the engine is shut off while the

warning light is flashing, you will

not be able to restart it.

The key fobs carry a unique

electronic code. For this reason, and to

assure your safety, obtaining a

replacement key fob can only be done

through your authorized dealer, and will

require some waiting time.

Arming

The system is armed when the ignition

is cycled from the ON to OFF position.

Because the electronic codes are

reset when the immobilizer system is

repaired, the keys are needed. Make

sure to bring all the key fobs to an

authorized dealer so that they can be

programmed.
