Security System
Immobilizer System

pressing the  ENGINE START/STOP  button:
• Do not allow objects that emit strong ra dio waves near the ignition switch or the 
ENGINE START/STOP  button.
• Make sure the key is not covered  by or touching a metal object.

and audio systems emit strong magnetic  fields. Note that even a key chain can 
become magnetic.
