ng precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km). Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in period.  Do not overload the ve
hicle. Observe the
seating capacity (See “Cargo load precau-tions” on page 6-10).  Do not use this vehi

The electronic immobilize
r is designed to sig-
nificantly reduce the
possibility of vehicle
theft. The purpose of the system is to immo-bilize the vehicle if
an invalid start is
attempted. A valid st
art attempt can only be
achieved (subject to ce
rtain conditions), using
a key “registered” to the immobilizer system. All of the keys provided with your new vehi- cle have been program
med to the vehicle’s
electronics.

Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. If you lose a key, you can order a key from a certified i-MiEV dealer by referring to the key number. To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for thevehicle keys must be changed. Take your vehicle and al
l remaining keys to a
certified i-MiEV dealer
to have your ID code
changed. To add a key, you need to register the ID code to the vehicle. Registering the ID code can be done by a cer- tified i-MiEV dealer.
Or it can be done by
yourself (except for vehi
cles sold in Canada).
To register the ID code yourself, follow the “Customer key programming” procedurebelow.
NOTE
 In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to recognize
the registered ID code
from the key. This means the electric motorunit will not start even when the registered key is turned to the “START” position. • When the key contacts
a key ring or other
metallic or magnetic object • When the key grip
contacts metal of
another key
• When the key contacts
or is close to other
immobilizing keys (inc
luding keys of other
vehicles)
 In cases like the above, move the offending object(s) away from the key and turn the key back to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.Then try to start the electric motor unit again. If the electric motor unit does not start, con- tact a certified i-MiEV dealer.  Electronic immobilize
r is not compatible
with commercially available remote startingsystems. Use of commercially available remote starting systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and a loss of security pro-
tection.  A system failure is suspected when the elec- tric motor switch is turned to the “START”
tric motor unit does not
start. In such a case, contact a certified i-MiEV dealer.NOTE
CAUTION Do not make any altera
tions or additions to
the immobilizer system.
Alterations or addi-
tions could cause failur
e of the immobilizer.
