Immobilizer
CAUTION
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications not ex-
pressly approved by the party re-
sponsible for compliance could void
the users authority to operate the
equipment.
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unau thorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered
with your vehicles 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 not start or will
stop after several seconds.
Each immobilizer key contains a trans-
ponder in which the keys ID code is
stored. When a key is inserted into the
ignition switch and turned to the ON
position, the transponder transmits the
keys ID code to the immobilizer systems
receiver. If the tr ansmitted 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 Ignition
switch F3-3.
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC
Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this de-
vice may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including

CAUTION
. Do not place the key under direct
sunlight or anywhere it may
become hot.
. Do not get the key wet. If the key
gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth
immediately.

lowing security precautions.

registered to your vehicles immobilizer
system. Up to four keys can be registered
for use with one vehicle.

registered to your vehicles immobilizer
system when registering a new key.
Therefore, all of your vehicles keys must
be presented when a new key is regis-
tered. Any key that is not re-registered
cannot be used after the other keys are re-
registered. For information on replace-
ment keys and on the registration of keys
with your immobilizer system, contact your
