Immobilizer system
1. Code re-registering key (red bow)
2. Standard keys (black bow)
This vehicle is equipped with an
immobilizer system to help prevent
theft by re-registering codes in the
standard keys. This system consists
of the following.
●a code re-registering key (with a
red bow)
●two standard keys (with a black
bow) that can be re-registered
with new codes
●a transponder (which is installed
in the code re-registering key)
●an immobilizer unit
●an ECU (Electronic Control Unit)
●an immobilizer system indicator
light (See page 3-3.)The key with the red bow is used to
register codes in each standard key.
Since re-registering is a difficult pro-
cess, take the vehicle along with all
three keys to a Yamaha dealer to have
them re-registered. Do not use the
key with the red bow for driving. It
should only be used for re-registering
the standard keys. Always use a stan-
dard key for driving.
ECA11821
CAUTION:
●DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-
REGISTERING KEY! CONTACT
YOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELY IF
IT IS LOST! If the code re-regis-
tering key is lost, registering new
codes in the standard keys is
impossible. The standard keys
can still be used to start the vehi-
cle, however if code re-registe-
ring is required (i.e., if a new
standard key is made or all keys
are lost) the entire immobilizer
system must be replaced. There-
fore, it is highly recommended to
use either standard key and
keep the code re-registering key
in a safe place.
●Do not submerse any key in
water.
●Do not expose any key to
excessively high temperatures.
●Do not place any key close to
magnets (this includes, but not
limited to, products such as
speakers, etc.).
●Do not place items that trans-
mit electrical signals close to
any key.
●Do not place heavy items on
any key.
●Do not grind any key or alter its
shape.
●Do not disassemble the plastic
part of any key.
●Do not put two keys of any
immobilizer system on the
same key ring.
●Keep the standard keys as well
as keys of other immobilizer
systems away from this vehi-
cle’s code re-registering key.
●Keep other immobilizer system
keys away from the main
switch as they may cause sig-
nal interference.
