Engine immobilizer system
Without front passenger seat belt light
The engine immobilizer system is a system that
prevents the vehicle from being stolen. When the
key is inserted into the ignition switch, a transponder
chip, located in the key head, transmits an electronic
code to the vehicle. The engine will only start when
the electronic code in the chip matches the registered
ID code of the vehicle.
With front passenger seat belt indicator
The system is automatically set when the key is removed
from the ignition switch. The indicator will start flashing to
indicate that the system is set.
If any of the following indicator conditions occur, contact
any authorized Toyota dealer or service center, or
another properly qualified and equipped professional.
• The indicator remains on, except when the
security system is being set or activated.
(See "Security System" on page 50 in this
chapter)
• The indicator does not start flashing when the key is removed
from the ignition switch.
