NOTE:
  • The "valid key" used in this manual indicates the key that can start the engine.
  • If the key adding, programming, clearing, and immobilizer system construction parts replacement are performed, verify that the all-keys can start the engine within 5 s after the procedure.
  • When verifying that the engine starts, wait at least 5 s or more before starting the engine using the next key.
  • If the engine cannot be started using a programmed key, repeat the procedure from the beginning.
