Your immobilizer system is comprised of a small transponder in the ignition
key and electronic devices inside the
vehicle.
Vehicles without smart key system
With the immobilizer system, whenever
you insert your ignition key into the ig‐ nition switch and turn it to ON, it checks
and determines and verifies if the igni‐
tion key is valid or not.If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will not
start.
To deactivate the immobilizer system:
Insert the ignition key into the key cyl‐ inder and turn it to the ON position.

Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi‐
tion. The immobilizer system activates
automatically. Without a valid ignition key for your vehicle, the engine will not
start.

Whenever the engine start/stop button
is changed to the ON position, the im‐
mobilizer system checks and verifies if the key is valid or not. If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will not
start.
