Immobilizer

The immobilizer system is designed to

prevent an unau thorized perso n from

starting the engine. Only keys registered

with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can

be used to operate your vehicle. Even if

an unregistered key fits into the ignition

switch and can be turned to the “START”

position, the engine will automatically stop

after several seconds.

Each immobilizer key contains a trans-

ponder in which the key’s ID code is

stored. When a key is inserted into the

ignition switch and turned to the “ON”

position, the transponder transmits the

key’s ID code to the immobilizer system ’s

receiver. If the transmitted ID code

matches the ID code registered in the

immobilizer system, the system allows the

engine to be started. Since the ID code is

transmitted and acted upon almost in-

stantly, the immobilizer system does not

impede normal starting of the engine.

If the engine fails to start, pull out the key

once before trying again. Refer to the

“Ignition switch” section in chapter 3.
