Immobilizer System


The immobilizer system protects your vehicle from theft. If an improperly-coded key (or other device) is used, the engine’s fuel system is disabled.


When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the immobilizer system indicator should come on for a few seconds, then go out. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the key. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert it, and turn the switch to ON (II) again.


74


The system may not recognize your key’s coding if another immobilizer key or other metal object (i.e. key fob) is near the ignition switch when you insert the key.


If the system repeatedly does not recognize the coding of your key, contact your dealer.

SEAT HEATER SWITCH


OnEX-V6modelandEXwithLeather model Both front seats are equipped with seat heaters. The passenger seat only has heaters in the seat bottom because of side airbag system. The ignition switch must be in the ON (II) position to use the heaters.


Push the front of the switch, HI, to rapidly heat up the seat. After the seat reaches a comfortable


temperature, select LO by pushing the back of the switch. This will keep the seat warm.


In HI, the heater turns off when the seat gets warm, and turns back on after the seat’s temperature drops.


In LO, the heater runs continuously. It does not cycle with temperature changes.


Follow these precautions whenever you use the seat heaters:


Use the HI setting only to heat the seats quickly, because it draws large amounts of current from the battery.


If the engine is left idling for an extended period, do not use the seat heaters, even on the LO setting. It can weaken the battery, causing hard starting.
