Security System

Immobilizer System

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

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

switch or the ENGINE START/STOP button.

• Do not put the key near magnetic items. Electronic device, such as 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 tailgate, hood or doors are forcibly 
opened. The alarm does not activate if the tailgate or doors are opened with the key,
