 Introduction

This chapter contains information on the following subjects:

Electronic immobilizer

Lock/unlock steering lock 74

Ignition on / off and start the engine 75

Switch off engine 75

With the key in the ignition, the ignition can be switched on and off and the

WARNING

■

While driving with the engine stopped, the ignition must always be

switched on » page 75, Ignition on / off and start the engine.

■

With the ignition off, the steering may lock » page 74 - danger of an

accident!

■

Do not withdraw the ignition key from the ignition lock until the vehicle

has come to a stop » page 78, Parking. Otherwise, the steering may lock -

danger of an accident!

■

Never leave the key in the vehicle when you exit the vehicle. Unauthor-

ized persons, such as children, for example, could lock the car, turn on the

ignition or start the engine - there is a danger of injury, accidents and dam-

age!

■

Never leave the vehicle unattended with the engine running - there is

risk of accident, damage or theft!

■

Never switch off the engine before the vehicle is stationary – risk of acci-

dent!

WARNING

■

Never (e.g. in garages) run the engine in a closed place - there is the dan-

ger of poisoning and death!

■

Do not leave any items (e.g. cloths or tools) in the engine compartment.

This presents a fire hazard and the risk of engine damage.

■

Never cover the engine with additional insulation material (e.g. with a

cover) – risk of fire!

CAUTION

■

Only start the engine when the engine and the vehicle are stationary - there

is a danger of starter and engine damage!

■

Do not push-start the engine – risk of damaging the engine and the catalytic

converter. The battery from another vehicle can be used as a jump-start aid

» page 127.

Note

Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. If possible, start

your journey as soon as the engine has started. Through this, the engine rea-

ches its operating temperature faster.

Electronic immobilizer

Read and observe

and on page 74 first.

The electronic immobilizer makes a possible attempted theft or unauthorized

use of your vehicle more difficult.

An electronic chip is integrated in the head of the key. The electronic immobil-

iser is deactivated with the aid of this chip when the key is inserted in the igni-

tion lock.

As soon as the ignition key is removed from the ignition lock the immobilizer is

automatically activated.

The engine will not start if a non-authorized ignition key is used.

Lock/unlock steering lock

Read and observe

and on page 74 first.

The steering lock (steering lock) deters any attempted theft of your vehicle.

I bought my 2016 Skoda Citigo two months ago and can't find out why it will suddenly ping for no obvious reason, some times pining three or four time in a row. My partner noticed the numbers 1-5 with an arrow coming up on the right hand side of the odometer but we can't find out what they or the mysterious pinging is. Please can you help. Thank you Submitted on 15-9-2022 at 10:11
