yNever allow a child to kneel on the
front passenger’s seat facing the
side window or to wrap his/her
arms around the front seat seat-
back. In the event of an accident,
the force of the SRS side airbag
deployment could injure the child
seriously because his/her head or
arms or other parts of the body
are too close to the SRS side air-
bag.
Since your vehicle is also
equipped with a front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag, children aged
12 and under should be placed in
the rear seat anyway and should
be properly restrained at all times.
y Never allow a child to kneel on the
front and rear passenger’s seat
facing the side window. In the
event of an accident, the force of
the SRS curtain airbag deploy-
ment could injure the child seri-
ously because his/her head is
close to the SRS curtain airbag.
yDo not attach accessories to the
door trim or near either SRS side
airbags and do not place objects
near the SRS side airbags. In the
event of the SRS side airbag de-
ployment, they could be propelled
dangerously toward the vehicle’s
occupants and cause injuries.

cal/electronic equipment such
as a mobile two-way radio on or
near the SRS airbag system

Immobilizer
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered with your vehicle’s immobilizer system
can be used to operate your vehicle. Even
if an unregistered key fits into the ignition
switch and can be turned to the “START”
position, the engine will automatically stop
after several seconds.
Each immobilizer key contains a tran-
sponder in which the key’s ID code is
stored. When a key is inserted into the ig-
nition switch and turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, the transponder transmits the key’s ID code to the imm obilizer system’s re-
ceiver. If the transmitt ed ID code matches
the ID code registered in the immobilizer
system, the system allo ws the engine to
be started. Since the ID code is transmit-
ted and acted upon almost instantly, the
immobilizer system does not impede nor-
mal starting of the engine.
If the engine fails to start, pull out the key
once before trying again. (Refer to the “Ig-
nition switch” section [chapter 3].)
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of In-
dustry Canada. Operation is subject to
the following two co nditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including in-
terference that may cause undesired
operation.
Changes or modifications not express-
ly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE
To protect your veh
icle from theft,
please pay close attention to the fol-
lowing security precautions: y Never leave your vehicle unattended
with its keys inside. y Before leaving your vehicle, close all
windows and lock the doors and reargate (Stati on wagon).
y Do not leave spare keys or any
record of your key number in the vehi-
cle.
„ Security ID plate
1) Key number plate
2) Security ID plate
The security ID is stamped on the security
ID plate attached to the key set. Write
down the security ID and keep it in another
safe place, not in the vehicle. This number
is needed to make a replacement key if
you lose your key or lock it inside the vehi-cle.
This number is also needed for replace-
ment or repair of the engine control unit,
integrated unit, and combination meter.
y
Do not place the key under direct
sunlight or anywhere it may be-
come hot.
y Do not get the key wet. If the key
gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.
