warning light for anti-theft immobilizer stays on
Notes:
Three attempts to input the secret number correctly are possible immediately. The
next three attempts will not be possible for at least 10 minutes if the ignition remains
switched on continuously during this time.
After the secret number has been input incorrectly three times, and the ignition
switched off, the control module is locked. "FAIL" appears in the trip odometer
display counter in the instrument cluster.
The waiting time between each set of attempts doubles each time to a maximum
time of 255 minutes.
If during the input procedure no key/button operation occurs for longer than 30
seconds, the emergency start attempt is interrupted.
- Switch ignition off and then start engine.
The emergency start function is not operable again and must be reactivated if:
5 minutes have elapsed since the ignition was switched off and the ignition key
removed from the ignition lock.
45 minutes have elapsed since the ignition was switched off, but an ignition key
remained inserted in the ignition lock.
Upon beginning an adaptation function with VAG 1551.
