With the immobilizer system, whenever you insert the ignition key into the ignition switch and turn it on, the system checks and verifies whether the ignition key is valid or not.

If the key is valid, the engine will start.

If the key is invalid, the engine will not start.

To deactivate the immobilizer system:

Insert the ignition key into the key cylinder and turn it to the ON position.

To activate the immobilizer system:

Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.

The immobilizer system is activated automatically. Without a valid ignition key for your vehicle, the engine will not start.
