Electronic immobiliser

The system checks whether the vehicle has
permission to start with the key used. If the
transponder in the key is recognised as
authorised, starting is permitted.
The electronic immobiliser activates itself
automatically after the key has been
removed from the ignition or, with the
Open&Start system 3, when the engine
is switched off by pressing the Start/Stop
button.
