IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM8-81EAS27670GENERAL INFORMATIONThis vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system to help prevent theft by re-registering codes inthe standard 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 (which is installed in each 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. Theimmobilizer system cannot be operated with a new key until the key registered with a code. If youlose the code re-registering key, the ECU and main switch (included with an immobilizer unit) needsto be replaced.Therefore, always use a standard key for driving. (See caution below.)NOTE:Each standard key is registered during production, therefore re-registering at purchase is not neces-sary.CAUTION:ECA14970• DO NOT LOSE THE CODE RE-REGISTERING KEY! If the code re-registering key is lost, reg-istering new codes in the standard keys is impossible. The standard keys can still be usedto start the vehicle, however if code re-registering is required (i.e., if a new standard key ismade or all keys are lost) the entire immobilizer system must be replaced. Therefore, it ishighly recommended to use either standard key after any code re-registering and keep thecode re-registering key in a safe place.• Do not submerse either of the keys in water.• Do not expose the keys to excessively high temperatures.• Do not place either of the keys close to magnets (this includes, but not limited to, productssuch as speakers, etc.).• Do not place heavy items on either key.• Do not grind either key or alter their shape.• Do not disassemble the plastic part of either key.• Keep other immobilizer keys away for this unit’s code re-registering key and main switch.EAS27691PART REPLACEMENT AND KEY CODE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTSIn the course of use, you may encounter the following cases where replacement of parts and regis-tration of code re-registering/standard keys are required.NOTE:Each standard key is registered during production, therefore re-registering at purchase is not neces-sary.Parts to be replacedKey registrationrequirementMain switch/immo-bilizer unit Standardkey ECUAcces-sory lock*and keyMainswitchImmobi-lizer unitStandard key is lost ✓ New standard key
