Immobilizer system

(if equipped)

NOTICE

The transponder in your key is an

important part of the immobilizer

system. It is designed to give

years of trouble-free service, how-

ever you should avoid exposure to

moisture, static electricity and

rough handling. Immobilizer sys-

tem malfunction could occur.

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.

Do not attempt to alter this system or

add other devices to it. Electrical

problems could result that may make

your vehicle inoperable.

When the ignition switch is placed in

the ON position, the immobilizer sys-

tem indicator should come on briefly,

then go off. If the indicator starts to

blink, the system does not recognize

the coding of the key.

3

WARNING

In order to prevent theft of your

vehicle, do not leave spare keys

anywhere in your vehicle. Your

immobilizer password is a cus-

tomer unique password and

should be kept confidential.

Place the ignition switch to the

LOCK/OFF position, then place the

ignition switch to the ON position

again.

The system may not recognize your

key’s coding if another immobilizer

key or other metal object (i.e., key

chain) is near the key. The engine

may not start because the metal may

interrupt the transponder signal from

transmitting normally.
