    Per the VMS Wiki, it seems like you may be trying to start the car without disarming it first.

    Canada and Europe share the same immobilizer, if you unlock and start within 30 seconds it will be fine, if however you get gripped by passers by asking questions and delay putting the key in abs turning the ignition then you will get that error, I Automatically press the middle button as I’m turning the key now.
