Key with Immobilizer Transponder Chip
V
The key contains an immobilizer transponder chip.
The immobilizer anti-theft system allows the engine to be started only when it receives
signals from the transponder of the pre-registered key.
However, even when using the pre-registered key, you might not be able to start the
engine in the cases listed below. If the engine fails to start the engine due to a metal
key holder, remove the key holder and then try again; first turn the starter switch to
the "LOCK" position, then turn to the "START" position to start the engine. The check
engine warning light then comes on, but this does not indicate any abnormality if the
light goes out after you repeat engine starting operation 3 times.
• There is a facility nearby that is
emitting strong radio waves.
• A metallic object is touching or
covering the handle of the key.
• Another vehicle's transponder key is
near your key.
ADVICE
Should you lose your transponder
key, contact the nearest Isuzu
Dealer.
Do not leave the transponder key on
the dashboard or any other surface
where the key might be exposed to
high temperatures (exceeding
60°C/140°F).
Do not place a magnetic object
close to the transponder key.

WARNING
Do not keep the starter switch in
the "START" position for more than
about 10 seconds. Operating the
starter for too long might cause
battery failure or might result in
overheating and even a fire.
