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 inserting the key into the ignition switch or
selecting 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.
* Not available on all models
