To turn off the anti-theft light, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the 'on' position without starting the engine. Wait for about 10 minutes until the light turns off. Turn the key to the 'off' position, and then repeat this process two more times. After the third cycle, the anti-theft system should reset and the light should remain off when you start the vehicle.
