Passive Anti-Theft System
Principle of Operation
The system prevents someone from starting the engine with an incorrectly coded key.
Coded Keys
If you lose a key, you can obtain a replacement from an authorized dealer. If possible, provide them with the key number from the tag provided with the original keys. You can also obtain extra keys from an authorized dealer.
Note:
Have all of your remaining keys erased and recoded if you lose a key. Have replacement keys coded together with recoding your remaining keys. See an authorized dealer for further information.
Note:
Do not shield your keys with metal objects. This may prevent the receiver from recognizing a coded key.
Arming the Engine Immobilizer
After you switch the ignition off the engine immobilizer will arm automatically after a short time.
Disarming the Engine Immobilizer
When you switch the ignition on the engine immobilizer will disarm automatically if a correctly coded key is used.
If you are unable to start the engine and the message Key not detected is shown in the display, the key has not been recognized. Remove the key and try again.
If you are unable to start the engine with a correctly coded key, and the message Immobiliser malfunction Service now is shown in the display, this indicates a malfunction. Have your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer immediately.
