Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the engine
to start only with a key the system
recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized key, the engine will
not start, thereby helping to prevent the
theft of your vehicle.
CAUTION
l Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
l To avoid damage to the key, do not:
l Drop the key.
l Get the key wet.
l Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
l Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as the
dashboard or hood, under direct
sunlight.
CAUTION
When starting the engine do not allow
the following, as the engine may not
start due to the electronic signal from
the ignition key not being transmitted
correctly.
l A key ring rests on the key grip.
l Metal parts of other keys or metal
objects touch the key grip.
l Spare keys or keys for other vehicles
equipped with an immobilizer
system touch or come near the key
grip.
l Devices for electronic purchases, or
security passage touch or come near
the key.
