ENGINE START/STOP

 button:

•

Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the 

ENGINE START/

STOP

 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 

ENGINE

and audio systems emit strong magnetic fields. Note that even a key chain can 
become magnetic.
