Security System
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from 
starting the engine. Each key  contains electronic transmitters that use electronic 
signals to verify the key.
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.  Electronic devices, such as televisions 
and audio systems emit strong magnetic  fields. Note that even a key chain can 
become magnetic.
Security System Alarm
The security system alarm activates when  the tailgate, hood, or doors are forcibly 
opened.
The alarm does not activate if the tailgate  or doors are opened with the key, remote 
transmitter or smart entry system
*.
However, the alarm activates if a door  is opened with the key, then the hood is 
opened before the power mode is set to ON.
■When the security system alarm activates
The horn sounds intermittently, and some exterior lights flash.
