prevents it from being started by
unauthorised persons. The valid key
for a vehicle equipped with
immobiliser system is an ignition
key with integrated transponder,
which is electronically coded. The
transponder is placed invisibly in the
ignition key.
Only valid ignition keys can be used
to start the engine.
Invalid keys may only open the
doors.
The engine is automatically
immobilised after the key is turned
to LOCK and has been removed
from the ignition switch.
If the immobiliser system detects a
fault when the ignition switch is in
ON position, the immobiliser
indicator will flash or illuminate and
engine will not start.
Have the vehicle checked, we
recommend an authorised repairer.
Tap the key slot or heat the
key if the door does not open with
freezing key slot in cold weather.
Type 2
The system does not have to be
manually armed or disarmed. The
vehicle is automatically immobilised
when the ignition control knob is
turned to LOCK/OFF. The
immobilisation system is disarmed
when the ignition control knob is
turned to ON and a valid transmitter
is detected in the vehicle.
If the keyless access transmitter is
ever damaged, you may not be able
to start your vehicle. The
immobiliser light in the instrument
cluster, comes on if there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system. When
trying to start the vehicle, the
immobiliser light comes on briefly
when the ignition is turned on. If the
engine does not start and the
immobiliser light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition control knob off and try
again.
Black plate (15,1)
Keys
If the ignition control knob does not
turn, and the keyless access
transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try again. If the engine
does not start and the immobiliser
light stays on, try another keyless
access transmitter. If the ignition
control knob does rotate, the first
transmitter may be faulty. Or, you
may try placing the transmitter in the
transmitter pocket located under the
centre console.
If the ignition control knob still does
not rotate with the other transmitter,
or if the ignition control knob does
not rotate by placing the transmitter
in the transmitter pocket, the vehicle
needs service. See your dealer who
can service the theft-deterrent
system and have a new keyless
access transmitter programmed to
the vehicle.
