is a passive
system. The system is
armed when the key is

uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that
is
read by
the
system in your vehicle. If the key
resistor matches the code stored in the vehicle system,
the vehicle’s fuel and starting systems will be enabled.
If
an incorrect key
is
used,
the
vehicle’s fuel and starting
systems are disabled for three minutes. Additional
attempts during this lockout period will not start the car,
even with the correct key.
If the engine does
not
start
and the STARTING

the Driver Information Center. your key should be
checked for damage. Starting may be attempted with an
undamaged key immediately. See your dealer or a
locksmith for key service.

MINUTES messages are displayed, the key
should be cleaned. After three minutes, try again.

duplicate key. At this time, fuses should be checked (see
“Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in

does
not
start with the duplicate key, your vehicle needs
service. See your dealer for service.
