immobiliser
Theft prevention device
An immobiliser is a device that prevents something from moving or operating.
The term most commonly refers to an electronic security system in vehicles that stops the engine from starting without the correct key or fob: The car wouldn't start because the immobiliser didn't recognise the key.
British spelling; Americans write immobilizer.
