System Operation
Passive Anti-theft System
The passive anti-theft system PATS (passive
anti-theft system) is based on an electronic engine
immobiliser.
The driver does not need to intervene in any way
to protect the vehicle, since PATS is automatically
activated when the ignition is switched off.
Component Description
Keyless vehicle module (KVM) The PATS functionality is saved in the KVM. After
pressing the start/stop button, the KVM activates
the interior antennas, which then transmit a signal.
If there is a valid passive key in the vehicle interior,
it sends an encrypted signal to the radio frequency
receiver. The radio receiver forwards this signal to
the KVM via a fixed wire. The KVM then forwards
a corresponding identification query via the HS
CAN (controller area network) to the PCM.
If a valid code was received to this query, then the
engine can be started. Interior antennas
The four interior antennas transmit an LF signal
which is identified by the passive key.

System Operation
Smart Start
The PCM enables the starting process when a key
providing a valid code is read via the PATS. This
code is then verified in the GEM and compared
with the saved code. If this code is recognized as
correct, synchronization with other modules is
carried out. After successful synchronization, the
engine is cleared to start in the PCM. The PCM
connects earth to the starter relay, which then
connects power to the starter solenoid. As soon
as the engine reaches a certain speed, the PCM
disconnects the starter relay and so turns off the
starter. This protects the starter.
If the engine does not turn or turns only slowly, the
starting process is aborted by the PCM.
The starter is notactivated if:
• the engine is running (i.e. the engine speed is above a particular value),
• the PATS does not permit the engine to be started,
• the clutch pedal is not operated (vehicles with manual transmission),
• the gear selector level is not set to P or N (vehicles with automatic transmission),
• the brake pedal is not operated (vehicles with automatic transmission).
Emergency starting function
If the keyless vehicle system is unable to recognize
the passive key, the vehicle can be started via the
emergency starting function. In this case, there is a passive key mount on the
steering wheel. A PATS transmission/reception
unit is attached to this.
To start the engine, the passive key must be
inserted into the passive key mount. The Start/Stop
button can then be used to turn on the ignition and
start the engine as normal. To deactivate the
PATS, a transponder is fitted in the passive key,
which is read by the transmission/reception unit.
