Immobilizer
CAUTION
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications not ex-pressly approved by the party re-sponsible for compliance could voidthe user’s authority to operate theequipment.
The immobilizer system is designed toprevent an unauthorized person fromstarting the engine. Only keys registeredwith your vehicle’s immobilizer system canbe used to operate your vehicle. Even ifan unregistered key fits into the ignitionswitchand can be turned to the“START”position, the engine will automatically stopafter several seconds.
Each immobilizer key contains a trans-ponder in which the key’s ID code isstored. When a key is inserted into theignition switch and turned to the“ON”position, the transponder transmits thekey’s ID code to the immobilizer system’sreceiver. If the transmitted ID codematches the ID code registered in theimmobilizer system, the system allows theengine to be started. Since the ID code istransmitted and acted upon almost in-
stantly, the immobilizer system does notimpede normal starting of the engine.
If the engine does not start, pull out thekey once before trying again. Refer to“Ignition switch”F3-3.
