Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of 
the device.

Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.

The system works when you turn the key to ON (II). The key 
uses a transponder that matches an immobilizer control unit 
in your vehicle. The correct key will start the vehicle.

When the system senses that someone is using the wrong
key, it may start but it will not continue to run. If someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key during
this time, the shutdown will start over again. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different keys
with different transponders in an attempt to make a match.

If the engine cannot be started, turn the key in the
ignition to ON (II). Wait approximately two seconds;
then start your vehicle again.

If the engine still won’t start, try another key. You may
also want to check the fuses (see “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in the Index). If the engine won’t start with
the other key, your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle
does start, the first key may be faulty. See your dealer.

If you lose or damage a key or you cannot start the
engine, see your dealer. If a key is lost, bring all
remaining keys to your dealer for re
