Anti-theft protection
Function of the immobilizer
The immobilizer prevents your vehicle from being
started without the correct key.
The immobilizer is automatically activated when
the ignition is switched off, and deactivated when
the ignition is switched on.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key
with you and lock the vehicle. If the key is left
inside the vehicle, anyone can start the engine.
%
In the event the engine does not start despite
the vehicle's starter battery having sufficient
charge, the immobilizer is defective. Contact
a qualified specialist workshop or call
1-800-367-6372 (in the USA) or
1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).
