not start or may stop soon after it

to have any malfunction after you

receive your new vehicle.

Limp home (override) proce-

dure

When you turn the ignition key to the

ON position, if the IMMO indicator

goes off after blinking 5 times, your

transponder equipped in the ignition

key is out of order. You cannot start

the engine without the lime home pro-

cedure. To start the engine, you have

to input your password by using the

ignition switch.

The following procedure is how to

input your password of “2345” as an

example.

1. Turn the ignition key to the ON posi-

tion. The IMMO indicator ( ) will

blink 5 times and go off indicating

the beginning of the limp home pro-

cedure.

2. Turn the ignition key to the ACC

position.

3. To enter the first digit (in this

example “2”), turn the ignition key

to the ON and ACC position twice.

Perform the same procedure for

the next digits between 3 seconds

and 10 seconds (for example, for

“3”, turn the ignition ON and ACC

3 times).

CAUTION

Do not put metal accessories

near the key or ignition switch.

The engine may not start for the

metal accessories may interrupt

the transponder signal from

normally transmitting.

WARNING

In order to prevent theft of your

vehicle, do not leave spare keys

anywhere in your vehicle. Your

Immobilizer password is a cus-

tomer unique password and

should be kept confidential. Do

not leave this number anywhere

in your vehicle.
