ENGINE IMMOBILISER SYSTEM

The engine immobiliser system is a theft prevention system that uses an electronic code.

An electronic chip in each key contains an electronic code that is transmitted to the

vehicle. Only when the electronic code in the chip corresponds to the vehicle’s registered

code will the immobiliser system be cancelled allowing the engine to start.

The engine immobiliser system is

automatically set when:

•

Vehicles with standard type ignition

switch– The key is removed from the

ignition switch.

•

Vehicles with smart entry and start

system– The ENGINE START STOP

switch is pressed off.

The indicator will start flashing to show the

system is set.

NOTICE

•

The indicator stays on except when the alarm is setting or activating. Refer to

“Setting the alarm system” on page 48.

electronic key and press the ENGINE START STOP switch.

If the electronic key battery is discharged, the engine can still be started. Refer to “If

For your Toyota dealer to make you a new key with a built-in transponder chip, your

dealer will need your key number and key (vehicles with standard-type ignition switch) or

electronic key (vehicles with smart entry and start system). However, there is a limit to the

number of additional keys your Toyota dealer can make for you.

If you make your own duplicate key, you will not be able to cancel the engine immobiliser

system or start the engine.

Do not modify, remove or disassemble the engine immobiliser system.

If any unauthorised changes or modifications are made, correct operation of the system

cannot be guaranteed.
