nHybrid vehicle immobilizer system
The hybrid vehicle immobilizer system prevents
the hybrid system from being started in the event
that an attempt is made to start the vehicle using
an unregistered key.

When forcible entry is detected, the alarm
attracts attention to the vehicle by sounding the
horn and flashing the exterior lights.
When all the doors are locked, the security indi-
cator light comes on and begins to flash after
approximately 30 seconds to indicate that the
system is armed.

door is opened with the power switch OFF.
The anti-theft system includes the following features to help protect your vehicle from theft.

tion or the wireless remote control. (The alarm will stop after several seconds.)
