Pay attention to the follo wing when pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button:
• Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the ENGINE START/
STOP button.
• Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
• Do not bring a key from another vehicle’s immobilizer system near the ENGINE
START/STOP button.
• Do not put the key near magnetic items. El ectronic device, such as televisions and
audio systems emit strong magnetic fiel ds. Note that even a key chain can
become magnetic.1 Immobilizer System
