Restrictions in Handling Keys
When leaving keys with parking lot
and valet attendants, the following
procedures will ensure your vehicle’s
trunk and glove box compartment
can not be opened in your absence. To activate the trunk lock system so
that the trunk can only be opened with
the main key, perform the following:
1. Unlock the glove box by using the
main key (1) then open it (2).
2. Set the trunk lid control button to the LOCK position.
3. Close and lock the glove box using the main key.
When leaving your keys with a park-
ing lot or valet attendant, perform
steps 1 to 3 above, and leave the sub
key with the attendant. In this manner
the sub key can only be used to start
the engine and operate door locks.
Lock release
To release the trunk lock feature,
open the glove box with the main key
and set the trunk lid control button to
the UNLOCK position.
Immobilizer system
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
to reduce the risk of unauthorized
vehicle use.
Whenever the ENGINE START/STOP
button is changed to the ON position,
the immobilizer 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.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys any-
where in your vehicle. Your
Immobilizer password is a customer
unique password and should be kept
confidential. Do not leave this num-
ber anywhere in your vehicle.
