Type 1
The immobilizer system is an additional means of anti-theft protection of the car and serves to prevent unauthorized starting of the engine. For vehicles equipped with an immobilizer system, only the ignition key with an electronically coded transponder is suitable. The transponder is inside the key and is invisible from the outside.
Only identifiable keys may be used to start the engine.
Unidentified keys can only unlock doors.
After turning the ignition key to position "LOCK" and removal from the ignition lock, the engine is automatically blocked.
If the immobilizer system detects a malfunction with the ignition key in the ON position, the immobilizer indicator flashes or stays on and the engine does not start.
Contact the service center to check the car, we recommend an authorized service center.
Note: Tap on the keyhole or heat the key if the door lock does not open due to frost in cold weather.
Type 2
The system does not require manual activation or deactivation. The vehicle is automatically immobilized when the ignition control is turned to the LOCK/OFF position. The immobilizer system is disabled when the ignition control knob is turned to the ON position and a valid remote control is detected in the vehicle.
If the remote control is damaged, you may not be able to start your car engine. The immobilizer indicator on the instrument cluster will illuminate if there is a problem activating or disabling the anti-theft system. When trying to start the engine, the immobilizer indicator lights up briefly when the ignition is turned on. If the engine does not start and the immobilizer indicator remains on, this indicates a malfunction in the system. Turn the ignition control knob to the OFF position and try again.
If the ignition control knob does not turn and the remote control does not show signs of damage, try again. If the engine does not start and the immobilizer indicator stays on, try using a different remote control. If the ignition control button is turned, the first remote control may be defective. You can also try to place the remote control in the remote pocket located under the center console.
If the ignition control knob still does not turn with the old remote control, or the ignition control knob does not turn when the remote control is placed in the remote pocket, then the vehicle needs service. Contact your dealer who can service the anti-theft system and program a new remote control into the vehicle.
Do not leave a key or device in the vehicle that disables or disables the anti-theft system. The immobilizer does not lock the door locks. Every time you leave the vehicle, be sure to lock the vehicle to activate the anti-theft alarm system.
