Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting system)
The electronic immobilizer has been designed to sig-
nificantly reduce the possibility of vehicle theft.
The purpose of the system is to immobilize the ve-
hicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid start
attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain con-
ditions) using a keyless operation system "regis-
tered" to the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed into the vehicle's electron-
ics. Refer to "Keyless operation system: Ignition
switch" on pages 1-11 and 1-18.

ent keys.
