Code
You can program a code into the on-
board computer for supplementary pro-
tection against unauthorized attempts
to start the engine or tamper with the
vehicle. This feature provides you with
an extra measure of security extending
beyond that furnished by the vehicle im-
mobilization system (refer to page 33).
The system prevents the engine from
starting.
A code number is used to arm the sys-
tem. The code is then required for sub-
sequent starting attempts. Therefore:
Always remember the code number.
With the ignition key in position 1, press
the keys in the sequence shown in the
illustration. "CODE – – – –" will appear in
the display.
Turn the ignition key to position 1
to set
1 Use the 0 – 9 keys to enter the code
2 Press the SET key
3 Turn the ignition key to position 0 or
remove it.
If you press a different key of the on-
board computer before you turn the ig-
nition key to the 0 position, or if you
turn the key to position 2, the code
which has been entered will be deleted.
Code numbers from "0000" to "9999"
can be entered.
The code must be re-entered each time
the system is armed.
You can make corrections of the en-
tered numbers with the CLR key.
To cancel with the ignition key at
position 1 or 2
A gong and the "CODE – – – –" display
prompt the code entry.
1 Use the keys to enter the code
number
2 Press the SET key.
The system responds to attempts to
start the vehicle using an incorrect/no
code by preventing the engine from
starting.
The time automatically appears after
you enter the correct code and then
confirm it by pressing SET.
Three incorrect entries will cause the
alarm to sound for 30 seconds.
