Immobilizer system
- Code re-registering key (red bow)
- Standard keys (black bow)
This vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system to help prevent theft by re-registering codes in the standard keys. This system consists of the following:
- a code re-registering key (with a red bow)
- two standard keys (with a black bow) that can be re-registered with new codes
- a transponder (which is installed in the code re-registering key)
- an immobilizer unit
- an ECU
- an immobilizer system indicator light
The key with the red bow is used to register codes in each standard key.
Since re-registering is a difficult process, take the vehicle along with all three keys to a Yamaha dealer to have them re-registered. Do not use the key with the red bow for driving. It should only be used for re-registering the standard keys. Always use a standard key for driving.
NOTICE
- DO NOT LOSE THE CODE REREGISTERING KEY! CONTACT YOUR DEALER
IMMEDIATELY IF IT IS LOST! If the code re-registering key is lost,
registering new codes in the standard keys is impossible. The standard keys
can still be used to start the vehicle, however if code reregistering is
required (i.e., if a new standard key is made or all keys are lost) the
entire immobilizer system must be replaced.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to use either standard key and keep the code re-registering key in a safe place.
- Do not submerse any key in water.
- Do not expose any key to excessively high temperatures.
- Do not place any key close to magnets (this includes, but not limited to, products such as speakers, etc.).
- Do not place items that transmit electrical signals close to any key.
- Do not place heavy items on any key.
- Do not grind any key or alter its shape.
- Do not disassemble the plastic part of any key.
- Do not put two keys of any immobilizer system on the same key ring.
- Keep the standard keys as well as keys of other immobilizer systems away from this vehicle's code re-registering key.
- Keep other immobilizer system keys away from the main switch as they may cause signal interference.
