All the keys have an immobilizer system. The 
immobilizer system helps to  protect against vehicle 
theft. 2 Immobilizer System  P. 161
Follow the advice below to  prevent damage to the 
keys:
•Do not leave the keys in  direct sunlight, or in 
locations with high temperature or high humidity.
•Do not drop the keys or set heavy objects on them.•Keep the keys away from liquids, dust and sand.
•Do not take the keys apart except for replacing the 
battery.
If the circuits in the keys  are damaged, the engine 
may not start, and the remote transmitter may not 
work.
If the keys do not work properly, have them 
inspected by a dealer.
You can remotely start th e engine using the smart

Controls
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 following when in serting the key into the ignition switch
* or 
pressing the  ENGINE START/STOP  button*:
• Do not allow objects that emit strong  radio waves near the ignition switch* or 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 ignition 
switch
* or 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.
1 Immobilizer System
NOTICE
Leaving the key in the vehicl e can result in theft or 
accidental movement of the vehicle.

1Starting the Engine
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when 
starting the engine.
The engine is harder to st art in cold weather and in 
thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400 
meters).
When starting the engine in  cold weather, turn off all 
electrical accessories such as the lights, climate 
control system, and rear de fogger in order to reduce 
battery drain.
If you live in a region where winter is extremely cold, 
an engine block heater  will improve starting and 
warming of the engine. Cons ult a dealer for details.
If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you can 
smell exhaust gas inside the  vehicle, have your vehicle 
checked by a dealer. There may be a problem with 
the engine or exhaust system.
The immobilizer system pr otects your vehicle from 
theft.
If an improperly c oded device is used, the engine’s
