Incorrect code number
If an incorrect code is confirmed after entry of the code, the procedure can be re-
peated once again
. The number of possible attempts is shown in the second line
on the touch-screen.
If the code number is entered incorrectly for the second time, the unit will be
blocked for approx. one hour. It is possible to enter again the safety code after
one hour has expired, when the unit and the ignition have been switched on.
If two invalid attempts are then made again, the system will be
blocked again for an hour.
The cycle - two attempts, blocked for an hour - will continue to apply. Note
The code is normally stored in the instrument cluster. This ensures that it is auto-
matically decoded (convenience coding). Manual input of the code is normally not
necessary. ÐGeneral - operation
