NOTE
The key number (A) is stamped on the key number plate
as shown in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store the key and
key number plate in separate places, so that you can order
a key from a certified i-MiEV dealer if the original keys
are lost.

The key is a precision electronic device with a built-in sig-
nal transmitter. Please observe the following in order to
prevent damage.
• Do not leave where it may be exposed to heat caused by
direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard.
• Do not take the remote control transmitter apart.
• Do not excessively bend the key or subject it to strong
impacts.
• Keep the remote control transmitter dry.
• Keep away from magnetic objects such as key holders.
• Keep away from devices that produce magnetism, such
as audio systems, computers and televisions.
• Do not clean with ultrasonic cleaners.
• Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to high
temperature or high humidity.

As your vehicle is equipped with an electronic immobi-
lizer, the electric motor unit is designed so that it will not
start if the ID code registered in the immobilizer computer
and the key’s ID code do not match. Refer to the section
entitled “Electronic immobilizer” for details and key
usage.
Electronic immobilizer (Anti-theft starting
system)
N00509100777
The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce
the possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is to
immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid
start attempt can only be achieved (subject to certain condi-
tions), using a key “registered” to the immobilizer system.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics.

NOTE
Electronic immobilizer is not compatible with commer-
cially available remote starting systems. Use of commer-
cially available remote starting systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

A system failure is suspected when the electric motor
switch is turned to the “START” position, and the electric
motor unit does not start. In such a case, contact a certified
i-MiEV dealer.Replacement keysOnly keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electron-
ics can be used to start the vehicle.
If you lose a key, you can order a key from a certified i-MiEV
dealer by referring to the key number.
To prevent vehicle theft, the ID code for the vehicle keys must
be changed.
Take your vehicle and all remaining keys to a certified i-MiEV
dealer to have your ID code changed.
Additional keysTo add a key, you need to register the ID code to the vehicle.
Registering the ID code can be done by a certified i-MiEV
dealer. Or it can be done by yourself (except for vehicles sold
in Canada).
To register the ID code yourself, follow the “Customer key
programming” procedure below.
If you choose to have a certified i-MiEV dealer register the ID
code, take your vehicle and any remaining keys to a certified i-
MiEV dealer.NOTE
You are provided with 2 keys, but you may add up to 6
more keys.Customer key programming (Except for vehicles
sold in Canada)
N00562200113
You can program new keys to the system if you have two valid
(already registered) keys and blank (not registered) immobi-
lizer key (specially cut for your vehicle at a certified i-MiEV
dealer) by doing the following:
1. Insert the first valid key into the ignition and turn the igni-
tion to the “ON” position for 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition to the “LOCK” position and remove the
first key.
3. Within 30 seconds of turning the first key to the “LOCK”
position, insert the second valid key into the ignition and
turn it to the “ON” position. About 10 seconds later, the
immobilizer indicator will start blinking.
CAUTION
!
Do not make any alterations or additions to the
immobilizer system. Alterations or additions could
cause failure of the immobilizer.
