Ignition Key

This vehicle has two ignition keys and a key tag with a key number and a bar code.


The ignition key contains a special coded chip that is recognized by the immobilizer system (HISS) in order to start the engine. Handle the key carefully to prevent damaging the HISS components.

  • Do not bend keys or subject them to undue stress.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or high temperatures.
  • Do not grind, drill or in any way alter their shape.
  • Do not expose to strong magnetic objects.

  • If you lose all ignition keys and the key tag, the PGM-FI unit/ignition control module must be replaced by your dealer. To avoid this, keep a duplicate key.

    If you lose a key, make another duplicate key immediately.


    To make a duplicate key and register it with your HISS system, take the spare key, the key tag, and the vehicle to your dealer.

  • Store the key tag in a safe location.

  • A metal key holder may cause damage to the area surrounding the ignition switch.
