Knowing your vehicle83Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised of
a small transponder in the ignition key,
and antenna coil in the key cylinder and
ICU (Immobilizer Control Unit) in the
steering shaft.
With this system, whenever you insert
your ignition key into the ignition switch
and turn it to ON, the antenna coil in the
ignition switch receives a signal from the
transponder 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
system: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.
The immobilizer system activates auto-
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 around.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep keys
separate to avoid immobilizer malfunc-
tions.
Limp home (override) procedureWhen 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 procedure. 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 position.
The IMMO indicator ( ) will blink 5
times and go off indicating the begin-
ning of the limp home procedure.
2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC posi- tion.
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).

Knowing your vehicle
Fixed rod antenna
(if equipped)Your car uses a fixed rod antenna to
receive both AM and FM broadcast sig-
nals.
This antenna is removable. To remove
the antenna, turn it counterclockwise. To
install the antenna, turn it clockwise.
Glass antenna (if equipped)When the radio power switch is turned on
while the ignition key is in either the “ON”
or “ACC ”position, your car will receive
both AM and FM broadcast signals
through the antenna in the rear window
glass.✽ ✽ NOTICE• Do not clean the inside of the rear
window glass with a cleaner or use a
scraper to remove the foreign deposits
as this may cause damage to the
antenna elements.
• Avoid adding metallic coating such as Ni, Cd, and so on. These can disturb
receiving AM and FM broadcast sig-
nals.
