Immobilizer system
Your vehicle is equipped electronically
with immobilizer system which
prevents the theft possibility. This
system works by an electronic
transmitter which is installed on the
ignition switch. Its receiver antenna
is located on the ignition switch knob
communicates with the immobilizer
control unit (ICU). If you turn the
ignition switch to ON position, the
immobilizer system receives signals
from the switch transmitter and send
them to the immobilizer control unit
(ICU).
It controls your switch code correctness
to let the electronically controlled unit
(ECU) ignite the engine.
Caution
If you start the engine by a key
other than the main one (regular or
undefined key to the system), the
immobilizer system will not allow the
engine to be ignited. In this case, the
system will be locked for a minute,
and then you can start the engine by
the main key.
It is necessary to mention that the
starting numbers by the undefined
keys will extend progressively the
waiting time of unlocking the system
by the main key.
- Blinking the key symbol light ,
when the switch is OFF, indicates that
the immobilizer system is active.
- The electronic transmitter installed
on the switch is one of the main
components of the immobilizer
system. Notice that the key is not
subjected to temperatures higher
than 85ºC, pressure, shock, or
electromagnetic field.
This will cause malfunction of the
switch and the system will not allow
the engine to be ignited.
