KEYS AND DOORS

Engine immobilizer system

The engine immobilizer system is a
theft prevention system using an elec-
tronic code.
Vehicles without smart entry and start
system—The transponder chip in the
key has an electronic code and trans-
mits the code to the vehicle. Only when
the electronic code in the chip corre-
sponds to the register ID code for the
vehicle, the engine immobilizer system
will be canceled and the engine will
start.
Vehicles with smart entry and start sys-
tem—When you enter the vehicle carry-
ing an electronic key and press the
"ENGINE START STOP" switch, the
electronic code in the key is automati-
cally checked to determine whether it
corresponds to the registered ID code
for the vehicle. If the ID code is veri-
fied, you can start the engine.
Never leave the keys inside the vehicle
when you leave the vehicle.
