Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Backup Communication Function
When key authentication between the remote and the keyless access/TPMS control unit is not possible because of a system abnormality or a drop of the battery voltage of the remote, the immobilizer function can be canceled by pressing the engine start/stop switch button once and bringing the remote close to the engine start/stop switch while the indicator of the engine start/stop switch is flashing. This causes the built-in immobilizer receiver of the engine start/stop switch to receive the immobilizer signal and to send the immobilizer signal to the keyless access/TPMS control unit.
