Disarmed stage
The system will be disarmed when
the doors are unlocked by depress-
ing the unlock button on the transmit-
ter or unlocked with the ignition key.
After depressing unlock button, the
hazard warning lights will blink twice
to indicate that the system is dis-

onds, the system will be rearmed.
If the system is not disarmed with the
ignition key or transmitter, insert the
key in the ignition switch, turn the key
to the ON position and wait for 30
seconds. Then the system will be dis-
armed.Your vehicle is equipped with an elec-
tronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehi-
cle use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised
of a small transponder in the ignition
key, and antenna coil in the key cylin-
der and Immobilizer Control Unit (or
Smartra Unit).
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.
