Security System

Immobilizer System*

The optional immobilizer system allows
the engine to start only with a key the
system recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized key, the engine will
not start, thereby helping to prevent the
theft of your vehicle.
CAUTION
• Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
• To avoid damage to the key, do not:
• Drop the key.
• Get the key wet.
• Expose the key to any kind of
magnetic field.
• Expose the key to high
temperatures on places such as
the dashboard or hood, under
direct sunlight.
