OVERRIDE CODE – Emergency procedure for local crank inhibition deactivation with Driver Card
In case of emergency, the Driver Card included in your service (only with Guardian Personal Service) might also be used to deactivate the crank inhibition set remotely by the Security Operating Center or through your Mobile app. To deactivate the crank inhibition just press the Driver Card button for more than 1 s.
Warning : the Driver Card is the device that allows the recognition of the driver. If it is forgotten in the vehicle, the system switches ON automatically after 30 min. not recognizing the Driver Card left in the vehicle. To avoid the generation of false alarms, it is necessary to briefly press the button on the Driver Card when returning to the vehicle.
What happens if your vehicle is stolen abroad?
Your fi rst point of contact is always your National SOC using the phone
number which appears in your Service Manual or in the My Connected Car app.
The SOC will then re-direct the confirmed theft to the SOC in the country of
theft in order to track the vehicle and liaise with the Police authorities in
the local language.
