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.
