INSTRUMENT AND CONTROL FUNCTIONS3-13EAU10978Immobilizer systemThis vehicle is equipped with an immo-bilizer system to help prevent theft byre-registering codes in the standardkeys. This system consists of the fol-lowing: a code re-registering key (with ared bow) two standard keys (with a blackbow) that can be re-registeredwith new codes a transponder (which is installed inthe code re-registering key) an immobilizer unit an ECU an immobilizer system indicatorlight (See page 3-6.)The key with the red bow is used toregister codes in each standard key.Since re-registering is a difficult pro-cess, take the vehicle along with allthree keys to a Yamaha dealer to havethem re-registered. Do not use the keywith the red bow for driving. It shouldonly be used for re-registering thestandard keys. Always use a standardkey for driving.NOTICEECA11822 DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-REGISTERING KEY! CONTACTYOUR DEALER IMMEDIATELYIF IT IS LOST! If the code re-reg-istering key is lost, registeringnew codes in the standard keysis impossible. The standardkeys can still be used to startthe vehicle, however if code re-registering is required (i.e., if anew standard key is made or allkeys are lost) the entire immobi-lizer system must be replaced.Therefore, it is highly recom-mended to use either standardkey and keep the code re-regis-tering key in a safe place. Do not submerse any key in wa-ter. Do not expose any key to exces-sively high temperatures. Do not place any key close tomagnets (this includes, but notlimited to, products such asspeakers, etc.). Do not place items that transmitelectrical signals close to anykey. Do not place heavy items on anykey. Do not grind any key or alter itsshape. Do not disassemble the plasticpart of any key. Do not put two keys of any im-mobilizer system on the samekey ring. Keep the standard keys as wellas keys of other immobilizersystems away from this vehi-cle’s code re-registering key.1.
