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

vehicle inoperable.
Canadian models only: Apply and hold the brake
pedal before turning the vehicle on the first time after
