The electronic immobilizer is designed to significantly reduce
vehicle theft. The purpose of th e system is to immobilize the
vehicle if an invalid start is attempted. A valid start attempt can
only be achieved (subject to certain conditions), using a key
“registered” to the immobilizer system.
All the keys supplied with your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle’s electronics. The immobilizer indicator lamp
comes on if there is a malfunc-
tion in the system electronics.
