Immobilizer system
Your vehicle may be equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system to
reduce the risk of unauthorized vehicle
use.
Your immobilizer system is comprised of a small transponder in the ignition
key and electronic devices inside the
vehicle.
Vehicles without smart key system
With the immobilizer system, whenever
you insert your ignition key into the ig‐ nition switch and turn it to ON, it checks
and determines and verifies if the igni‐
tion key is valid or not.If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will not
start.
To deactivate the immobilizer system:
Insert the ignition key into the key cyl‐ inder and turn it to the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer system:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF posi‐
tion. The immobilizer system activates
automatically. Without a valid ignition key for your vehicle, the engine will not
start.
Vehicles with smart key system
Whenever the engine start/stop button
is changed to the ON position, the im‐
mobilizer system checks and verifies if the key is valid or not. If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will not
start.
To deactivate the immobilizer system
Change the engine start/stop button to
the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer system
Change the engine start/stop button to the OFF position. The immobilizer sys‐
tem activates automatically. Without a
valid smart key for your vehicle, the engine will not start.
