KEYS
A key is an electronic access and authori-
zation system available as a standard fea-
ture with your vehicle.
Unlocking Principle
The transponder in the ignition key carries
a Unique Identification Code (UID). The
vehicle unlocks when the code on the key
matches with the code on the Engine Man-
agement System (EMS). In case of PEPS
variant, Immobilizer function is provided by
PEPS ECU.
Engine Starting
When the key is inserted and the ignition
is switched to ‘ON’, all codes are commu-
nicated within key, Immobilizer and EMS.
The engine will start only if all the codes
match.
Loss of Keys
If one of the keys is lost, Contact the TATA
MOTORS Authorized Dealer/Service Cen-
ter immediately.
WARNING
Do not turn ‘ON’ ignition switch by •
using key with any type of metal
wound around its grip or in contact
with it. This may be detected as ab-
normal condition by immobilizer and
prevent engine from starting.
Do not leave the key in high temper-
•
ature areas. The transponder in it
will behave abnormally when
reused.
Do not try to start the vehicle when
•
the Immobilizer indicator lamp on
the instrument cluster is glowing. In
this condition the vehicle will not
start and the vehicle’s battery will
also be drained due to frequent
cranking.
