The key contains an electronic chip
which has a special code. When the
ignition is switched on, this code must
be recognised in order for starting to be
possible.

the engine management system a few
minutes after the ignition is switched off
and prevents starting of the engine by
anyone who does not have the key. In the event of a malfunc-
tion, you are informed by
lighting of this warning lamp,
an audible signal and a message on the
multifunction screen.
