Should you have the misfortune to have your immobiliser stay on and stop the car from starting here's what I learnt after 2 hours of frustration.
1.) Follow the emergency starting procedure in the manual re pressing the accelarator 5 times to follow your Key Code sequence.
2.) Realise after 1 hr 48 mins that the 5 digit code is NOT on the red card that says Code Card (this has 7 digits
)
3.) Use the 5 digit code on the KEY CARD !
4.) Start the car (hooray !)
5.) This will allow you to drive, but the immobiliser will stay on meaning you have to do the sequence every time you start the car.
6.) Disconnect the battery for 2 mins
7.) Do the Key Code sequence again and hey presto ! all back to normal
Alternatively you could get recovered to your local dealer and pay them to do that.
Just thought I'd share my experience in the pouring rain last night, in the hope that someone benefits !
