  1. Remove the key plate from the key case.
  2. Insert the key plate into the ignition switch. The indicator light keeps flashing.

You can put the key case away now. You cannot cancel the engine immobilizer system if 10 seconds have passed after you inserted the key plate. You need to remove the key plate from the ignition switch and try it again from step 2.
