has 10 seconds to switch the key on
ignition to avoid alarm trigger.
During this period, horn chirps will

Alarm
The horn will sound and the signal
lamps will flash for 30 seconds when
the alarm is triggered.
The triggering of the alarm through
any door or source can be
reactivated only 30 seconds after
the source has been cancelled.
The anti-theft alarm system can be
deactivated only by pressing the
button
K or switching on the
ignition.
Immobilizer
The system is integrated into the
ignition switch and checks whether
the vehicle is allowed to start with
the key being used. If the
transponder in the key is
recognized, the vehicle can be
started.
This vehicle has a passive
theft-deterrent system. The system
does not have to be manually
armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically
immobilized when the vehicle is
turned off. The system is
automatically disarmed when the
ignition is turned from off to on. The
security light, in the instrument
cluster, comes on if there is a
problem with arming or disarming
the theft-deterrent system.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when
the ignition is turned on. If the
engine does not start and the
security light stays on, there is a
problem with the system. Turn the
ignition off and try again. If the
engine still does not start, and the
key appears to be undamaged, try
another ignition key. It may be
necessary to check the fuse. If the
engine still does not start with the
other key, the vehicle needs service.
If the vehicle does start, the first key
may be faulty. See your dealer.
It is possible for the immobilizer
system to learn new or replacement
keys. Up to eight keys can be
programmed for the vehicle. Do not
leave the key or device that disarms
or deactivates the vehicle theft
system in the vehicle. See your
dealer to get a new key blank cut
exactly as the ignition key that
operates the system.
Note
The immobilizer does not lock the
doors. You should always lock the
vehicle after leaving it and switch on
the anti-theft alarm system. See
Manual Door Locks 0 11 and
Anti-theft Alarm System 0 17.
