OPERATION
The engine immobilisation system is
a theft protection feature which
prevents the engine from being
started with an incorrectly coded key.

CODED KEYS

Your vehicle is supplied with coded
keys.
WARNING
If a key is lost, it is imperative to
erase and recode the remaining
keys. Consult your dealer if you now
have only one valid key.
Replacement keys must be recoded
together with your other keys.
In case of loss, replacement keys are
available from dealers by stating the
key number shown on the tag
provided with the original keys.
Note: To ensure a trouble−free data
exchange between the vehicle and
key, do not shield the keys with any
metal objects.
