Immobilizer
CAUTION
S02AB
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered
with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can
be used to operate your vehicle. This
system, however, is not a 100% anti-theft
guaranty.
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system”:
If you press the push-button ignition switch
when carrying an unregistered access key
fob, the switch will not turn to the “ON”
position and the engine will not start.
If the engine does not start, perform the
procedure described in “Starting engine”
F9-20.
For models without “keyless access
with push-button start system”:
Even if an unregistered key fits into the
ignition switch and can be turned to the
“START” position, the engine will automa-
tically stop after several seconds.
If the engine does not start, pull out the key
once before trying again. Refer to “Ignition
switch (models without push-button start
system)” F3-4.
. Do not place the key under direct
sunlight or anywhere it may be-
come hot.
. Do not get the key wet. If the key
gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.
. Do not modify or remove the
system. If modified or removed,
the proper operation of the sys-
tem cannot be guaranteed.
