IMMOBILISER
Coded key immobiliser system
GENERAL
The immobiliser is controlled by a key recognition
system (known as coded key immobiliser system).
An independently operating coded chip without a
battery is integrated into each head of the vehicle
keys.
When the ignition is switched on, an antenna ring
around the ignition switch interrogates and cap-
tures the code from the head of the key and trans-
mits it to the decoder unit.
If the decoder unit recognises the code, the vehi-
cle will be permitted to be started.
The immobiliser is activated a few seconds after
the key is withdrawn from the ignition and this is
shown by the flashing of the red immobiliser war-
ning light on the instrument panel.
If there is a fault in the key recognition system, a
security code may be entered using the XR25 only.
This code may be communicated to the repair
agent (on his request) by the local assistance net-
work (depending on country, for example: Delta
Assistance on 0800.05.15.15 for France, NVSR for
the UK by fax only).
IMPORTANT: The repair agent must inform the
customer that the immobiliser system will reset it-
self automatically 10 minutes after switching the
ignition off.

NOTES
This system may be fitted to petrol or diesel vehi-
cles.
Petrol vehicles: the immobiliser function is carried
out by the injection computer.
Diesel vehicles: the immobiliser function is carried
out by the coded solenoid valve (on the injection
pump).
If the vehicle is fitted with a remote control for
door locking, a single decoder unit carries out
both functions (immobiliser and remote control).
The remote control has no effect on the immobili-
ser system (see section 88).
On these vehicles, the identification number of
the key heads contains eight alphanumeric cha-
racters, beginning with the letter E or A.

1 Trip mileometer reset button and clock reset (rotate).
NOTE :
• Under normal operating conditions, the oil level is only measured if the ignition has been switched off for
over one minute; otherwise the old oil level value is re-displayed.
If a fault is detected, however, an oil level measurement is made each time the ignition is switched on to
check if the fault is persisting.
• It is normal to find that the oil level is not always the same:
- parking on a slope,
- too short a wait after running the engine for a short moment (especially when the oil is cold), ...

Oil level sensor

OPERATION
The sensor consists of a wire with a high
coefficient of resistance. When a current passes
through the wire it does not have the same
thermal conductivity when it is immersed in a
liquid as when it is in the open air.
After a fixed time a voltage difference is obtained
at the sensor terminals depending on the depth of
immersion of the wire. This voltage difference is
recorded by the electronic unit which manages
the level display function and also controls the
"low oil level" warning light display on the
central liquid crystal display.
When the ignition is switched on, the central dis-
play shows the oil level in a series of "blocks" for
approximately 30 seconds, before returning to
displaying the trip mileometer and total mileome-
ter functions (or "odometer" function).
NOTE : Turning the trip mileometer reset button
before the end of the timed period will display
the "odometer" function.
LOOKING FOR FAULTS
If a short circuit or an open circuit is detected
when the oil level is measured, the display will im-
mediately show the trip mileometer / clock dis-
plays.
CHECKING
The sensor resistance must be between 6 and 20
ohms.
The sensor is deemed to be in short circuit for a va-
lue lower than 4 ohms.
The sensor is deemed to be in open circuit for a va-
lue higher than 22 ohms.

WIRING
Remote control for door locking
88
.GENERAL
These vehicles are equipped with an infrared or
radio frequency remote control with rolling code,
which prevents the code from being copied.
When a transmitter is replaced it will therefore be
necessary to resynchronise it so that the transmit-
ters are returned to phase with the decoder unit.
This remote control is only used for locking and
unlocking the opening elements (it has no effect
on the immobiliser).
IMPORTANT: this system cannot operate with
three remote controls (the decoder unit can only
manage two different rolling codes).
THE TRANSMITTER (PLIP)
Replacing or adding a remote control with immo-
biliser function without replacing the decoder
unit.
Order a spare key head using the number in the
head of one of the old keys or the label normally
attached to the keys when the vehicle is delivered
(eight alphanumeric characters).
If a key is being added or has been lost, remember
to order the insert with the key number.
Carry out the special resynchronisation procedure
using the XR25.
This procedure resets the remote control into se-
quence with the decoder unit (rolling code) and
should only be used if the decoder unit is not
being replaced (with immobiliser only).
1.Ignition off, connect the XR25 (ISO selector on
S8, code D56).
For vehicles fitted with an infra-red remote
control, enter command mode G04* (forced
protection mode) then switch the ignition on
again and enter the vehicle’s security code
(see procedure in section 82).
For vehicles fitted with a radio frequency re-
mote control, go to point 2.
2.Switch the ignition off and enter command
mode G32*.
From this moment, the operator has 10 se-
conds to carry out the next operation.
NOTE: The 10 seconds are shown by the illu-
mination of the red immobiliser warning light
and bargraph 17 LH on the XR25
(code D56,
fiche n° 56).
3.Press the remote control twice (the doors lock
and unlock and the red warning light extin-
guishes).
NOTE :
- When replacing a key head, resynchronisa-
tion of the second remote control (if fitted)
is not always necessary.
Check that the second control operates,
otherwise resynchronise it.
- If both remote controls (if fitted) are desyn-
chronised, two resynchronisation proce-
dures will have to be carried out (one for
each remote control).
IMPORTANT: To ensure that the infrared code
is correctly transmitted it is essential to direct
the transmitter correctly towards the receiver.
If the procedure fails it will be necessary to
restart from the beginning (infrared remote
control only).
4.The procedure is complete - check that the
doors lock correctly.

Remote control for door locking

Replacing or adding a remote control without im-
mobiliser function without replacing the decoder
unit.
If the vehicle does not have an immobiliser, the re-
mote control does not have a special number. A
key head without a number may therefore be or-
dered.
If a key is being added or has been lost, remember
to order the insert with the key number.
Carry out the special resynchronisation procedure
using the XR25.
This procedure resets the remote control into se-
quence with the decoder unit (rolling code) and
should only be used if the decoder unit is not
being replaced (with immobiliser only).
1.Ignition off, connect the XR25 (ISO selector on
S8, code D56).
2.Enter command mode G32* (the doors lock
and unlock).
From this moment, the operator has 10 se-
conds to carry out the next operation.

mination of bargraph 17 LH on the XR25
(code
D56,

3.Press the remote control twice (the doors lock
and unlock).
NOTE :
- When replacing a key head, resynchronisa-
tion of the second remote control (if fitted)
is not always necessary.
Check that the second control operates,
otherwise resynchronise it.
- If both remote controls (if fitted) are desyn-
chronised, two resynchronisation proce-
dures will have to be carried out (one for

IMPORTANT: To ensure that the infrared code
is correctly transmitted it is essential to direct
the transmitter correctly towards the receiver.
If the procedure fails it will be necessary to
restart from the beginning (infrared remote
control only).
4.The procedure is complete - check that the
doors lock correctly.
Simple resynchronisation procedure
This procedure allows the remote controls to be
reset with the decoder unit (rolling code).
This procedure is used:
- when the remote control code no longer lies
within the reception range of the decoder unit
(over 1,000 consecutive presses on the remote
control, away from the vehicle).
- when replacing a decoder unit alone (new de-
coder unit),
- when replacing a remote control if the decoder
unit is new (replacing a kit).
REMINDER: when replacing or adding a remote
control with immobiliser function without repla-
cing the decoder unit, refer to "Replacing or ad-
ding a remote control with or without immobili-
ser function without replacing the decoder unit"
(specific resynchronisation procedure).
