IMMOBILIZER (if fitted)
The vehicle is fitted with an immobilizer
anti-theft system
is automatically activated each time the
ignition key is removed from the switch.
Store the spare key in a safe place.
Immobilizer system keys cannot be
duplicated. If both keys are lost, you will
h a v e t o h a v e a n u m b e r o f v e h i c l e
components replaced (rather than just the
key-operated locks).
Embedded in the key grip is a transponder,
an electronic device that modulates the
radiofrequency signal emitted by a special
antenna built into the switch when the key
is turned to on. The modulated signal acts
as a "password" that tells the control unit
whether an authorised key is being used to
start the engine.
NOTE
The Immobilizer system supports
up to four enabled keys. New keys can
only be enabled at your Official Dealer,
who has the master key available.
The programming procedure wipes off all
existing key codes. An owner who wishes
to have a new key enabled, will have to
bring all the keys he intends to be using to
the Dealer.

Immobilizer status is indicated by a
dashboard light (1):
√ Immobilizer off - light off
√ Immobilizer on - light flashes every three
seconds as a theft deterrent
√ Unknown key - light flashes every
second.
