Electronic immobiliser
The system checks whether the vehicle may
be started with the mechanical key or
electronic key of the Open&Start system3
that is being used. If the key is recognised
as "authorised" the vehicle can be started.
The check takes place via a transponder in
the key.
The electronic immobiliser activates itself
automatically after the key has been
removed from the ignition or, with the
Open&Start system 3, when the engine is
switched off by pressing the Start/Stop
button.
The code number of the electronic
immobiliser is given in the Car Pass.

Control indicator for immobiliser A
Control indicator A illuminates briefly
when the ignition is switched on.
If the control indicator flashes when the
ignition is on, there is a fault in the system;
the engine cannot be started. Switch off
the ignition and then repeat the start
attempt.
If the control indicator A continues to
flash, try to start the engine using the
second key and contact a workshop for
assistance.
