Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
to reduce the risk of unauthorized
vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
ignition key, and antenna coil in the
key cylinder and Immobilizer Control
Unit (or Smartra Unit).
With this system, whenever you
insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, the
antenna coil in the ignition switch
receives a signal from the transpon-
der in the ignition key and then sends
the signal to the ECU (Engine
Control Unit).
The ECU checks the signal whether
the ignition key is valid.
If the key is determined to be valid,
the engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.To deactivate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Insert the ignition key into the key
cylinder and turn it to the ON posi-
tion.
To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi-
tion. The immobilizer system acti-
vates automatically. Without a valid
ignition key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
✽ ✽
NOTICEWhen starting the engine, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys
around. Otherwise the engine may
not start or may stop soon after it
starts. Keep each key separately not
to have any malfunction after you
receive your new vehicle.
Limp home (override) proce-
dureWhen you turn the ignition key to the
ON position, if the IMMO indicator
goes off after blinking 5 times, your
transponder equipped in the ignition
key is out of order. You cannot start
the engine without the lime home pro-
cedure. To start the engine, you have
to input your password by using the
ignition switch.
The following procedure is how to
input your password of “2345” as an
example.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON posi-
tion. The IMMO indicator ( ) will
blink 5 times and go off indicating
the beginning of the limp home pro-
cedure.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC position.
3. To enter the first digit (in this example “2”), turn the ignition key
to the ON and ACC position twice.
Perform the same procedure for
the next digits between 3 seconds
and 10 seconds (for example, for
“3”, turn the ignition ON and ACC
3 times).
