Electronic immobiliser
The system checks whether the vehicle
may be started with the mechanical key or
electronic key of the Open&Start system

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.

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 control indicator

continues to flash,
try to start the engine using the spare key
and consult a workshop. We recommend
your Vauxhall Authorised Repairer.
