GENERAL OPERATION
Type 1
In addition to the master and valet keys this system includes a
learning key which has a unique ID code that is matched to a par-
ticular vehicle’s immobiliser control unit. It allows the immobiliser
control unit to be re-programmed to either add additional pro-
grammed keys and/or delete ID codes of lost keys.
Important Note: The learning key will not start the engine
and may damage the immobiliser control unit if attempted.
Type 4
Unlike the other master and valet keys, those used on type 4 immo-
biliser system contain electronic circuitry that produce a ‘rolling-type’
code (determined by the control unit-receiver) when the key is in-
serted into the ignition switch. On LX and EX vehicle models the
master keys also include a battery operated remote transmitter al-
lowing the vehicle to be locked/unlocked. Both master and valet keys
are sidewinder-type and can be identified by a ‘V’ stamped on the
shank.
Immobiliser System Indicator - (All Types)
The immobiliser system indicator is a ‘key’ symbol that is located on
the instrument panel, whose location varies dependant on vehicle.
