starting the engine. Each key contains electronic transmitters that use electronic
signals to verify the key.

• 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.

audio systems emit strong magnetic fiel ds. Note that even a key chain can
become magnetic.
