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.

tem:

der and turn it to the ON position.

vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your

tomer unique password and should
be kept confidential. Do not leave
this number anywhere in your vehi-
cle.

key is an important part of the
immobilizer system. It is designed
to give years of trouble-free service,
however you should avoid expo-
sure to moisture, static electricity
and rough handling. Immobilizer
system malfunction could occur.

the ignition switch.
The engine may not start because
the metal accessories may interrupt
the transponder signal from trans-
mitting normally.

immobilizer system because it
could cause the immobilizer sys-
tem to malfunction.We recommend
that the system be serviced by an

cations to the immobilizer system
