• the immobilizer display does not come on within 30 sec-
onds after step 4.

• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the first key is turned to the “LOCK”
position to the moment when the second key is turned to
the “ON” position
• a period of 30 seconds or longer elapses from the
moment when the second key is turned to the “LOCK”
position to the moment when the blank immobilizer key
is turned to the “ON” position

to register the key with both the electronic immobilizer
and keyless entry system.

The engine is warmed up enough for driving when the bar
graph of engine coolant temperature display starts to
move. Refer to “Interrupt display screen (When the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON” position)” on page 3-178.
CAUTION

speeds until the engine has had a chance to warm
up.Release the ignition switch as soon as the engine
