Press and hold the release button and
remove the mechanical key.
2. Unlock the glove box by using the
mechanical key then open it.
3. Set the trunk lid control button to OFF
position (unpressed).
4. Close and lock the glove box using the
mechanical key.When leaving your keys with a parking lot
attendant or valet, perform steps 1 to 4
above, remove the mechanical key from
the smart key and leave the smart key
with the attendant. In this manner the
smart key can only be used to start the
engine and operate door locks.

the glove box with the mechanical key
and set the trunk lid control button to ON
position (pressed). In this position the
trunk will open with the trunk lid button or

Immobilizer system (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an
electronic 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 electronic devices inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, whenever
you insert your ignition key into the igni-
tion switch and turn it to ON, it checks
and determines and verifies if the ignition
key is valid or not.
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.
