you turn the engine start/stop button to
the ON position by pressing the button
whilst carrying the smart key, it checks
and determines and verifies if the smart
key is valid or not.
If the key is determined to be valid, the
engine will start.
If the key is determined to be invalid, the
engine will not start.To deactivate the immobiliser sys-tem:
Turn the engine start/stop button to the
ON position by pressing the button whilst
carrying the smart key.
To activate the immobiliser system:
Turn the engine start/stop button to the
OFF position. The immobiliser system
activates automatically. Without a valid
smart key for your vehicle, the engine will
not start.

key with other immobiliser keys around.
Otherwise the engine may not start or
may stop soon after it starts. Keep each
key separate in order to avoid a starting
malfunction.

vehicle, do not leave spare keys
anywhere in your vehicle.
CAUTION
