Features of your vehicle
Smart key immobilizer system
Your vehicle is equipped with an
electronic engine immobilizer system
to reduce the risk of unauthorized
vehicle use.
Your immobilizer system is com-
prised of a small transponder in the
smart key and electronic devices
inside the vehicle.
With the immobilizer system, when-
ever you turn the ENGINE
START/STOP button to the ON posi-
tion by pressing the button while car-
rying the smart key, it verifies if the
smart key is valid. If the key is deter-
mined to be valid, the engine will
start.
If the key is determined to be invalid,
the engine will not start.
To deactivate the immobilizer
system:
Turn the ENGINE START/STOP but-
ton to the ON position by pressing the
button while carrying the smart key.
In order to prevent theft of your vehi-
cle, do not leave spare keys any-
where in your vehicle.
To activate the immobilizer system:
Turn the ENGINE START/STOP but-
ton to the OFF position. The immobi-
lizer system activates automatically.
Without a valid smart key for your
vehicle, the engine will not start.
✽✽
NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use
the key with other immobilizer keys
around. Otherwise the engine may
not start or may stop soon after it
starts. Keep each key separate in
order to avoid a starting malfunction.
