In order to prevent theft of your
vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle. Your
immobiliser password is a cus-
tomer unique password and

✽ ✽ NOTICE
When starting the vehicle, do not
use the key with other immobiliser
keys around. Otherwise the vehicle

tion.

Metal accessories may interrupt
the transponder signal and may
prevent the vehicle from being
