another safe place, not in the vehicle. This
number is needed to make a replacement
key if you lose your key or lock it inside the

Immobilizer
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered

guarantee.

switch when carrying an unregistered
access key, the switch will not turn to the
“ ON ”position and the engine will not start.

For models without “keyless access
with push-button start system”:

ignition switch and can be turned to the
“ START ”position, the engine will auto-
matically stop after several seconds.
If the engine does not start, pull out the
key once before trying again. Refer to
“ Ignition switch (models without “keyless

number of keys that can be registered
for use with one vehicle is as follows.
. Four (models without “keyless access
with push-button start system ”)
. Seven (models with “keyless access

remains in the memory of the vehicle’ s
immobilizer system. For security reasons,
the lost key ’s ID code should be erased
from the memory. To erase the lost key ’s
ID code, all keys that will be used are
required.
For details about new key registration and
