Hi there! I have the vehicle listed above. the anti theft system has turned on last night but now the car won't start and I have no idea how to deactivate it. I tried reading the manual and even then, it did not provide sufficient advice. I called someone to help me jump start it, after about twenty minutes it worked successfully, then when I arrived back home and shut off the car it would not start. Not sure if this has to do with the battery and more with the anti theft system/computer.
