Vehicles with smart key system
Whenever the engine start/stop button is
changed to the ON position, the immo-
biliser system checks and verifies if the
key is valid or not.
If the key is valid, the engine will start.
If the key is invalid, the engine will not
start.
To deactivate the immobiliser system
Change the engine start/stop button to
the ON position.
To activate the immobiliser system
Change the engine start/stop button to
the OFF position. The immobiliser sys-
tem activates automatically. Without a
valid smart key for your vehicle, the
engine will not start.
WARNING
In order to prevent theft of your vehi-
cle, do not leave spare keys any-
where in your vehicle. Your immo-
biliser password is a customer
unique password and should be
kept confidential. Do not leave this
number anywhere in your vehicle.
✽ ✽ NOTICE
When starting the engine, do not use the
key with other immobiliser keys around.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separate in order to avoid a starting
malfuntioin.
CAUTION
Do not put metal accessories near
the ignition switch.
The engine may not start because
the metal accessories may interrupt
the transponder signal from nor-
mally transmitting.
