If the immobilizer warning indicator blinks
for five seconds when the ignition key is
turned to the "ON" position, this indicates

to start the engine using the limp home
function (0, 1, 2, 3 as a sample pass-
word).

this time, you have to start your engine
within 30 seconds. If you try to start
your engine after 30 seconds, your

rectly three consecutive times,wait for about one hour to per- form the limp home activationprocedure again.
