20 - Getting to know your vehicle
(Depends on vehicle)
Engine Immobiliser prevents the ve
hicle from being driven by anyone
not in possession of the vehicle’s
coded ignition key.
Operating principle
The vehicle is automatically protected
a few seconds after the ignition is
switched off.
If the vehicle does not recognise the
coded ignition key or wrong key is
used, the engine cannot be started.
System operation
When the ignition is switched on, the
vehicle has recognised the code. You
can then start the engine.
Vehicle protection
The vehicle will only be protected after
the ignition has been switched off.
Operating faults
After the ignition has been switched
on, if warning light
1
continues to flash
or remains continuously lit, there is a
system operating fault.
In all cases, it is essential to contact
an approved dealer as they are quali-
fied to repair the engine immobiliser.
If the coded ignition key is faulty,
use the second key (supplied with
the vehicle).
Any unauthorised work
carried out on the engine
immobiliser (computers,
wiring, etc.) could be
dangerous. Work must be carried
out by qualified personnel.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stop
ping the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even
for a short time.
They may pose a risk to them-
selves or to others by starting the
engine, activating equipment such
as the electric windows or locking
the doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the temper-
ature inside the passenger com-
partment increases very quickly.
