use. Do not leave it in your vehicle.
Starting the engine using a flat key
11R090
1. Remove the key plate from the key case.
2. Insert the key plate into the ignition switch. The indicator
light keeps flashing.
3. Bring the key case closer to the ignition switch within 10
seconds as indicated by the arrow head. The indicator light
goes out. This means the engine immobiliser system is
automatically canceled. (For details, see “Engine immobiliser
system” on page 11.) You can put the key case away then. You
cannot cancel the engine immobiliser system if 10 seconds
have past after you inserted the key plate. You need to remove
the key plate from the ignition switch and try it again from the
step 2.
4. Start the engine within 60 seconds after the security
indicator light goes out. You cannot start the engine if 60
seconds have past after the security indicator went off. You
need to remove the key plate from the ignition switch and try
it again from the step 2.
NOTICE
Do not let the key case become bent as the key plate
may fall out or become bent also.
The flat key is designed for emergency use only. So
do not use it regularly instead of other master keys.
