The immobilizer system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from

• Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
• Do not bring a key from another vehicle's immobilizer system near the ignition switch.
Security System Alarm
The security system alarm activates when the doors, hatch, or hood are opened
without the key, or remote transmitter. It also activates if you turn the ignition
switch to ON
(w after locking the doors and the hatch with the remote transmitter.
■ When the security system alarm activates
The horn sounds intermittently, and all of the exterior lights flash. ■ To deactivate the security system alarm
Unlock the vehicle using the key or remote transmitter. The system, along with the
horn and flashing lights, is deactivated.
