Electronic immobilizer
The immobilizer helps to prevent unauthorized use of
your vehicle.
A computer chip inside your key automatically deactivates the elec ­
tronic immobilizer when you insert the key in the ignition lock .
When you remove the key from the ignition lock, the electronic
immobilizer is automatically activated once again .
If an unauthorized key was used,
SAFE is displayed continuously in
the odometer display field.
& WARNING
Always take the key with you when you leave the vehicle. The key can disarm the electronic engine immobilizer and permit an unau­
thorized person to start the engine and enable operation of the
vehicle systems such as power window leading to serious
personal injury.
[ i ] Tips
• Your engine can only be started using the factory -equipped key.
• You may not be able to start your vehicle if an ignition key of a
different vehicle make is also located on your set of keys.
