7.5 Engine Immobilizer System
An Engine Immobilizer System is a security system that prevents
the vehicle being operated by an unauthorized person. The Engine
immobilizer prevents the engine from being started unless it
recognizes signals from the correct coded key. When a wrong key
is inserted or a theft attempt is detected, the alarm is set off, and
the hazard lamps flash along with a siren.
The system is automatically activated when the key is removed
from the ignition.
7.5.1 Features of the Immobilizer System:
• Prevents the vehicle being started by anyone not in possession
of the correct vehicle key
• The vehicle is automatically protected after the key is removed
from the ignition. At every ignition ON, if the vehicle does not
recognize the correct key code, the engine check lamp will be
illuminate/blink and the engine cannot be started
• The vehicle will not be protected until the key has been taken out
of the ignition
