Key Warning

The key warning function is part of the security system (applies to USA/CAN only). The components in the function are the central electronic module (CEM) and the driver information module (DIM). The warning is activated if the driver's door is opened while the key is in the ignition switch. A contact breaker in the lock unit in the driver's door indicates that the door has been opened.

If the system for keyless functions is installed, the antennas inside the vehicle are activated each time the driver's door is opened. The system then scans for the key which was used to start the vehicle. A warning message is displayed in the driver information module (DIM) if this key is not found. The engine will continue running, but if the key is turned to position 0 the engine will not start again if there is not another valid key inside the vehicle.
