Electronic immobiliser
The system checks whether the vehicle may
be started using the key that has been
inserted. If the key is "authorised", the
vehicle can be started. This check is carried
out via a transponder housed in the key.
The electronic immobiliser activates
automatically when the key is removed
from the starter switch.
The code number of the electronic
immobiliser is given in the Car Pass.

Control indicator for immobiliser A
Control indicator A illuminates briefly
after 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, please try to start the engine using
the second key and contact a workshop.
If control indicator A illuminates after the
engine has started, there is a fault in the
engine electronics or the Easytronic
transmission, see page 108.
Note
The immobiliser does not lock the doors.
Therefore, after leaving the vehicle always
lock it and switch on the Vauxhall alarm
system 3, see pages 20, 24, 31.
