acoustic signal (horn) and a visual
signal (hazard warning flashers). The
number and duration of which are
stipulated by legislation.
The alarm can be silenced by
pressing a button of the radio remote

started.
The electronic immobiliser activates
itself automatically after the key has
been removed from the ignition
switch or when the engine is switched
off by pressing the Start/Stop button.
If the control indicator A flashes
when the ignition is on, there is a fault
in the system; the engine cannot be
started. Switch off the ignition and
then repeat the start attempt.
If the control indicator continues
flashing, attempt to start the engine
using the spare key and seek the
assistance of a workshop.
If control indicator illuminates after
the engine has started, there is a fault
in the engine electronics or
transmission electronics 3 88,
3 135, 3 139, or there is water in the
diesel fuel filter 3 101. Note
The immobiliser does not lock the
doors. You should always lock the
