Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic engine immobilizer system to reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle use.

Your immobilizer system is comprised of a small transponder in the ignition key and electronic devices inside the vehicle.

If the key is determined to be valid, the engine will start.

Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder and turn it to the ON position.
