Hi all,

I did search the forum and also googled this to try and figure it out, but no luck.

Basically as above, I turn the car on - it turns over but then cuts out almost straight away

The SAFE message comes up where the mileage trip counter is.

I also noticed there's a high pitched kind of beep sound coming from the engine bay after this happens?

I can't find anything in the manual either which suggests what this might be, any ideas?

Thanks :)

It's a problem with the chip in the key or the immobiliser is faulty. It is mentioned in the manual, page 82 in mine at the end of the Cockpit chapter, 'Electronic Immobiliser - SAFE'

My mistake - was in a bit of a rush when I looked as I was late for work - I was probably looking in the wrong place.

Thanks for the heads up - any idea on what the best course of action is? Should I just get a new key programmed or is it worth taking it to the garage first?
