PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT
SYSTEM
Principle of Operation
The system prevents someone from
starting the engine with an incorrectly
coded key.
Coded Keys
If you lose a key, you can purchase a
replacement from an authorized dealer. If
possible, provide them with the key
number from the tag provided with the
original keys. You can also obtain extra
keys from an authorized dealer.
Note:
Have all of your remaining keys
erased and recoded if you lose a key. Have
replacement keys coded together with your
remaining keys. See an authorized dealer
for further information.
Note: Do not shield your keys with metal
objects. This may prevent the receiver from
recognizing a coded key.
Note: Do not leave a duplicate coded key
in the vehicle. Always take your keys and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
Arming the Engine Immobilizer
When you switch the ignition off, the
engine immobilizer will arm automatically
after a short time.
Disarming the Engine Immobilizer
When you switch the ignition on, the engine
immobilizer will disarm automatically if
you use a correctly coded key.
If you are unable to start the engine with a
correctly coded key, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer. ANTI-THEFT ALARM
