Immobilizer System

The Immobilizer System protects

your vehicle from theft. If an

improperly-coded key (or other

device) is used, the engine’s fuel

system is disabled.

If the system repeatedly does not

recognize the coding of your key,

contact your dealer.

This device complies with Part 15 of the

FCC rules. Operation is subject to the

following two conditions: (1) This device

may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) this device must accept any

interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired

operation.

Do not attempt to alter this system

or add other devices to it. Electrical

problems could result that may make

your vehicle undriveable.

When you turn the ignition switch to

the ON (II) position, the immobilizer

system indicator should come on for

a few seconds, then go out. If the

indicator starts to blink, it means the

system does not recognize the

coding of the key. Turn the ignition

switch to the LOCK (0) position,

remove the key, reinsert it, and turn

the ignition switch to the ON (II)

position again.

If you have lost your key and cannot

start your engine, contact your

dealer.

Changes or modifications not expressly

approved by the party responsible for

conditions: (1) this device may not cause

interference, and (2) this device must

accept any interference that may cause

key’s coding if another immobilizer

key or other metal object (i.e. key

fob) is near the ignition switch when

you insert the key.
