ENGINE IMMOBILIZER
Engine Immobilizer Operation
The Engine Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized use of the vehicle by
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be enabled
or activated. Operation of the
immobilizer is automatic whether the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition is set to ON, the Engine
Immobilizer system identifies the code
transmitted by the key. If the code is
recognized as valid, the Engine
Immobilizer system enables engine
starting.
When the ignition is brought back to
STOP, the Engine Immobilizer system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, disabling engine starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, refer to “Starting The
Engine” in “Starting And Operating.”
Irregular Operation
If the key code is not recognized during
starting, the Engine Immobilizer
Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (refer
to "Warning Lights And Messages" in
"Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel"). This condition leads to the engine
turning off after two seconds. In this
case, switch the ignition to STOP and then to ON; if it is still blocked, try with
the other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact an
authorized dealer.
If the Engine Immobilizer Failure/
Break-in Attempt
icon is displayed
while driving, this means that the system
is running a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a
voltage drop). If the display persists,
contact an authorized dealer.
Note:
Do not tamper with the Engine
Immobilizer system. Any modifications
or alterations could cause the protection
function to be deactivated.
The Engine Immobilizer system is not
compatible with certain aftermarket
remote starting systems. The use of
these devices could cause problems
when starting, as well as the
deactivation of the protection function.
All keys provided with the vehicle
have been programmed in accordance
with the electronics on the vehicle itself.
Each key has its own code which must
be stored by the system's control unit.
Contact an authorized dealer to have
new keys (up to eight) stored with a
code.
