IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM8-121EAS27670GENERAL INFORMATIONThis vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system to help prevent theft by re-registering codes in thestandard keys. This system consists of the following:• a code re-registering key (with a red bow)• two standard keys (with a black bow) that can be re-registered with new codes• a transponder (installed in the red key bow)• an immobilizer unit• the ECU• an immobilizer system indicator lightThe key with the red bow is used to register codes in each standard key. Do not use the key with thered bow for driving. It should only be used for re-registering new codes in the standard keys. The im-mobilizer system cannot be operated with a new key until the key is registered with a code. If you losethe code re-registering key, the ECU and main switch (equipped with the immobilizer unit) need to bereplaced.Therefore, always use a standard key for driving. (See NOTICE.)TIPEach standard key is registered during production, therefore re-registering at purchase is not neces-sary.NOTICEEC3P61001• DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-REGISTERING KEY! If the code re-registering key is lost, regis-tering new codes in the standard keys is impossible. The standard keys can still be used tostart the vehicle. However, if code re-registering is required (e.g., if a new standard key is madeor all keys are lost) the entire immobilizer system must be replaced. Therefore, it is highly rec-ommended to use either standard key for driving, and to keep the code re-registering key in asafe place.• Do not submerse the keys in water.• Do not expose the keys to excessively high temperatures.• Do not place the keys close to magnets (this includes, but is not limited to, products such asspeakers, etc.).• Do not place heavy items on the keys.• Do not grind the keys or alter their shape.• Do not disassemble the key bows.• Do not put two keys of any immobilizer system on the same key ring.• Keep the standard keys as well as other immobilizer system keys away from the code re-reg-istering key.• Keep other immobilizer system keys away from the main switch as they may cause signal in-terference.EAS27690PART REPLACEMENT AND KEY CODE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTSIn the course of use, you may encounter the following cases where replacement of parts and registra-tion of code re-registering/standard keys are required.TIPEach standard key is registered during production, therefore re-registering at purchase is not neces-sary.
