add-on equipment has been installed.

Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the
engine to start only with a key the system
recognizes.

with an unrecognized key, the engine
will not start, thereby helping to prevent
vehicle theft.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key, consult an
