Security System
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from 
starting the engine. Each key  contains electronic transmitters that use electronic 
signals to verify the key.
Pay attention to the follo wing when pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button:
• Do not allow objects that emit  strong radio waves near the ENGINE START/
STOP  button.
• Make sure the key is not covered  by or touching a metal object.
• Do not bring a key from another vehicle’s immobilizer system near the  ENGINE 
START/STOP button.
• Do not put the key near magnetic items.  Electronic devices, such as televisions 
and audio systems emit strong magnetic  fields. Note that even a key chain can 
become magnetic.

opened.
