ENGINE
IMMOBILIZER
Engine Immobilizer
Operation
The Engine Immobilizer system
prevents unauthorized use of the
vehicle by disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled or activated. Operation of the
immobilizer is automatic whether the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition is set to ON, the
Engine Immobilizer system identifies the
code transmitted by the key. If the code
is recognized as valid, the Engine
Immobilizer system enables engine
starting.
When the ignition is brought back to
STOP, the Engine Immobilizer system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, disabling engine starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, refer to “Starting The
Engine” in “Starting And Operating.”
Irregular Operation
If the key code is not correctly
recognized during starting, the Engine
Immobilizer Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is displayed on the instrument
panel (refer to "Warning Lights And
Messages" in "Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel"). This condition leads
to the engine turning off after two
seconds. In this case, switch the

ignition to STOP and then to ON; if it is
still blocked, try with the other keys
provided. If it is still not possible to start
the engine, contact an authorized
dealer.
If the Engine Immobilizer
Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is
displayed while driving, this means that
the system is running a self-diagnosis
(e.g. due to a voltage drop). If the
display persists, contact an authorized
dealer.
Note:
Do not tamper with the Engine
Immobilizer system. Any modifications
or alterations could cause the
protection function to be deactivated.
The Engine Immobilizer system is
not compatible with certain aftermarket
remote starting systems. The use of
these devices could cause problems
when starting, as well as the
deactivation of the protection function.
All keys provided with the vehicle
have been programmed in accordance
with the electronics on the vehicle
itself.
Each key has its own code which
must be stored by the system's control
unit. Contact an authorized dealer to
have new keys (up to eight) stored with
a code.
SECURITY ALARM
SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
Alarm Activation
While armed, the alarm will sound in the
following scenarios:

is not validated
Cutting of the battery cables
Movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection —
if equipped)
Unexpected lifting/tilting of the car
(anti-lift protection — if equipped)
Activation of the alarm triggers the
acoustic warning and the turn signals.
Note: The alarm system is activated by
the Engine Immobilizer system, which is
automatically activated when you get
out of the vehicle with the key fob and
lock the doors.
To Arm The Alarm

closed and the keyless ignition system
placed in the STOP position, push and
