Immobilizer System Keys

The car comes with two master keys (black grip), one valet key (gray grip), and one learning key (red grip). All keys have a transponder inside them that outputs an ID code used by the immobilizer control unit to start the car. Keys have no batteries or serviceable parts inside them.

The master key operates the ignition switch, the doors, the trunk, the trunk release handle, the rear seat trunk access, and the glove box, When the correct master key is used in the ignition switch, its transponder sends an ID code to the immobilizer control unit, allowing the engine to start.

The valet key works like the master key, except it does not open the trunk, the trunk release handle, the rear seat trunk access, or the glove box.

The learning key has a unique ID code that is matched to the car's immobilizer control unit. It allows you to recode or replace a key, but it will not start the engine. If you try to start the engine with the learning key, it may disable the fuel supply system and the starter system. If this happens, you will need to do the procedure in ADDING OR REPLACING KEYS.

The learning key is given to the customer, sealed in its plastic case. The customer should be advised that the learning key is a tool for the dealer to use when adding or replacing keys; it cannot be used to start the engine. The customer should keep the learning key sealed in its case and stored in a safe place.
