tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks
and determines whether the ignition key
is valid or not.

engine will not start.

tem:Insert the ignition key into the key cylin-
der and turn it to the ON position.To activate the immobilizer sys-
tem:Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.

matically. 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 near it.

position, if the IMMO indicator remains
on continuously after blinking 6 times,
