Each new key contains a microchip which

must be coded with the data from the vehi-

cle electronic immobiliser. A vehicle key will

not work if it does not contain a microchip or

the microchip has not been encoded. This is

also true for keys which are specially cut for

the vehicle.

The vehicle key includes an emitter and bat-

tery. The receiver is in the interior of the ve-

hicle. The range of the vehicle key with re-

mote control and new battery is several me-

tres around the vehicle.
