Security System  
Immobilizer System  
This system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from starting the power  
system.  
NOTICE  
Leaving the key in the vehicle can result in theft or  
accidental movement of the vehicle.  
Always take the key with you whenever you leave the  
vehicle unattended.  
Pay attention to the following when pressing the POWER button:  
• Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the POWER button.  
• Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.  
• Do not bring a key from another vehicle’s immobilizer system near the POWER  
button.  
• Do not put the key near magnetic items. Electronic device, such as televisions and  
audio systems emit strong magnetic fields. Note that even a key chain can  
become magnetic.  
Do not alter the system or add other devices to it.  
Doing so may damage the system and make your  
vehicle inoperable.

Security System Alarm  
The security system alarm activates when the tailgate, hood, or doors are forcibly  
opened. The alarm does not activate if the tailgate or doors are opened with the key,  
remote transmitter or keyless access system.  
Do not alter the system or add other devices to it.  
Doing so may damage the system and make your  
vehicle inoperable.  
However, the alarm activates if a door is opened with the key and then the hood is  
opened before the power mode is set to ON.  
The security system alarm continues for a maximum  
of two minutes until the security system alarm  
deactivates.
