cess the data saved in the ig-
nition key via a ring aerial in
the ignition lock. The engine
control unit will not permit the
engine to be started unless the
key is identified as "authorised".
A second ignition key at-
tached to the same ring
as the ignition key used to start
the engine could "irritate" the
electronics, in which case the
enabling signal for starting is
not issued. The warning with
the key symbol appears in the
display.
Always keep other vehicle keys
separate from the vehicle key
used to start the engine.
