For vehicles with the smart key system
When the engine start/stop button is moved to the ON position, the immobilizer system checks whether the key is valid or not.
If the key is valid, the engine starts.
If the key is not valid, the engine does not start.
To deactivate the immobilizer
Move the engine start/stop button to the ON position.
To activate the immobilizer
Move the engine start/stop button to the OFF position. The immobilizer activates automatically. Without a correct smart key, the vehicle will not start.
NOTE
When starting the engine, do not use the key while other immobilizer keys are nearby. Otherwise, the engine may not start or may stop shortly after starting. Keep each key separate to avoid malfunctions.
