The
engine immobilizer system is a
theft prevention system. When you in-
sert the key in the engine switch, the
transponder chip in the key's head
transmits an electronic code
to
the ve-
hicle. The engine will start only when
the electronic code in the chip corre·
sponds
to
the registered ID code
for
the vehicle.
The system is automatically set when the
key is removed from the engine switch.
The indicator light will start flashing to
show the system is set.
If any of the following indicator
conditions
occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.
• The indicator light stays on.
• The indicator light does not
start
flash-
ing when the key is removed from the
engine switch.
• The indicator light flashes inconsistent-
ly.
