Your key number is shown on the plate.
Keep the plate in a safe place such as

DEACTIVATION USING THE SMART
FUNCTION
The hybrid vehicle immobilizer system
is a theft prevention system. When you
enter the vehicle carrying a smart key
and press the “POWER” switch, the
electronic code in the key is automati-
cally checked to determine whether it
corresponds to the registered ID code
for the vehicle. If the ID code is veri-
fied, you can start the hybrid system.
