Security System

Immobilizer System

The immobilizer system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from 
starting the power system. Each key contains electronic transmitters that use 
electronic signals to verify the key.

Pay attention to the following when pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button:
• Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the ENGINE START/

STOP button.

• Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
• Do not bring a key from another vehicle’s immobilizer system near the ENGINE 

START/STOP button.

• Do not put the key near magnetic items. Electronic devices, such as a televisions 

and audio systems emit strong magnetic fields. Note that even a key chain can 
become magnetic.

Security System Alarm

The security system alarm activates when the hood, hatch or doors are forcibly 
opened. The alarm does not go off if the hatch or doors are opened with the key, 
remote transmitter or keyless access system.

However, the alarm goes off when a door is opened with the key, then select other

Keyless Access Remote Reminder

When the keyless access remote is within the 
system’s operational range, and the driver’s door is 
closed, the warning function cancels.

If the keyless access remote is taken out of the vehicle 
after the power system has been turned on, you can 
no longer change the ENGINE START/STOP button 
mode or restart the power system. Always make sure 
if the remote is in your vehicle when you operate the 
ENGINE START/STOP button.

Removing the keyless access remote from the vehicle 
through a window does not activate the warning 
buzzer.

Do not put the keyless access remote on the 
dashboard or in the glove box. It may cause the 
warning buzzer to go off. Under some other 
conditions that can prevent the vehicle from locating 
the remote, the warning buzzer may also go off even 
if the remote is within the system’s operational 
range.
