Warning:
- It is forbidden to leave children in the car if the key is in the ignition. Children can turn on the power windows, use other vehicle controls, or even start the engine and drive away. This could result in injury or even death to children or people outside the vehicle. Children can be seriously injured or even killed if they are in the window opening while the glass is closing.
- Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle.
1. When you purchase a new car, you receive a key with a double-sided bit that is used to turn on the ignition and unlock/lock all locks (see illustration). This key has a code number that is issued to the first owner upon delivery of the vehicle. The code number allows your dealer to make a duplicate key if necessary.
2.1 Car key
2. If you lose your key, you can easily order a duplicate using this code. This code may also be stored by your dealer. Warning: The anti-theft system may make it difficult to enter the vehicle if you leave your keys inside the vehicle. You may even have to damage your car when opening the door. Therefore, you should have spare keys.
Passlock® system
3. Your car is equipped with a passive anti-theft system. This system only turns on the fuel if the correct key is inserted into the ignition. If the system determines that the wrong key is being used, or detects an attempt to tamper with the ignition lock cylinder, the fuel supply will be blocked.
4. If the wrong key was used, or if the engine stalls and the anti-theft warning light is flashing, turn the key to the lock position and wait about ten minutes until the warning light stops flashing before you try to start the engine again. If after three attempts the engine does not start, your car needs to be repaired.
5. If the anti-theft warning light comes on while driving, this may indicate a system malfunction. You will be able to start the engine again, but the vehicle will not be protected by Passlock®. Contact your dealer for repairs. Caution: Do not leave keys or anti-theft alarm disablers in the vehicle.
