Anti-theft
Your car has a number of systems and features which help to make your car secure when it's locked.
When the car is locked, a range of systems and functions are either shut down or activated to help protect the car from theft. This includes:
- Alarm
- Immobiliser
- Steering wheel lock
Immobiliser
Warning
Do not leave your keys unattended in your car. They can be used to disable the security systems.
The immobiliser is an anti-theft system that prevents your car from being driven until it is started using a valid key. If your car can't find the key or fails to authenticate it, your car will remain immobilised. A notification appears in the centre display if the key can't be found or has a low battery. If your car is unresponsive to a battery-powered key, try using a key card. If the car appears to have no power, the cause could be flat batteries or something affecting its electrical systems.
Steering wheel lock
When the car is locked, the steering wheel is locked.
Alarm
The alarm is automatically armed when you lock the car and disarmed when you unlock the car.
