Transmitter Keys
Two transmitter keys are provided with the car, and combine
a mechanical key blade with a three button transmitter unit in
-
corporated into the key head. The mechanical key operates the
ignition switch/steering lock and emergency manual door locking.
The transmitter operates the central locking, alarm system and
electronic immobiliser. The two transmitter keys should be kept
separate, and a replacement obtained immediately after any loss
to ensure that a spare is always available.
The 4-digit code for the mechanical key, the unique serial
number of the immobiliser/alarm, and the system’s 5-digit sPecifc
Identification Number (PIN), are supplied on plastic tags attached
to the key ring of a new vehicle. In order to allow replacement
transmitter keys to be matched to the car, it is essential that these
numbers are recorded and kept safely with the vehicle docu-
ments. If the codes are not available on receipt of the vehicle,
enquire with the dealer or vendor immediately.
Disarming the Alarm/Unlocking
When approaching the car, it is likely that the vehicle is locked
and the alarm armed, as indicated by the alarm red tell tale lamp
