tem:
Turn the ignition key to the OFF position.
The  immobilizer  system  activates  auto-
matically.  Without a valid ignition key for
your vehicle, the engine will not start.
Your immobilizer system is comprised of
a  small  transponder  in  the  ignition  key,
and antenna coil in the key cylinder and
Immobilizer   Control  Unit   (or   Smartra
Unit).
WARNING
With  this  system,  whenever  you  insert
your ignition key into the ignition switch
and turn it to ON, the antenna coil in the
ignition switch receives a signal from the
transponder in the ignition key and then
sends  the  signal  to   the  ECU  (Engine
Control Unit).
The ECU checks the signal whether the
ignition key is valid.
If the key is determined to be valid, the
engine will start.
In  order  to   prevent  theft  of  your
vehicle,  do  not   leave  spare  keys
anywhere   in   your   vehicle.   Your
Immobilizer   password   is   a  cus-
tomer unique password and should
be  kept confidential.  Do  not  leave
this number anywhere in your vehi-
cle.
Limp home (override)  procedure
When you turn the ignition key to the ON
position,  if  the  IMMO  indicator  goes  off
after  blinking  5  times,  your  transponder
equipped in the ignition key is out of order.
You  cannot  start  the  engine  without  the
lime home procedure. To start the engine,
you have to input your password by using
the ignition switch.
NOTICE
The following procedure is how to input
your password of “2345” as an example.
If the key is determined to be invalid, the
engine will not start.
When starting the engine, do not use the
key with other immobilizer keys around.
Otherwise  the engine  may  not start  or
may stop soon  after it starts. Keep  each
key separately not to have  any malfunc-
tion after you receive your new  vehicle.
