Key symbol?
« on: August 22, 2015, 09:47:12 PM »
Apologies if this has already been covered. In certain lighting conditions the digital display on the forfour can give visual evidence of functions which aren't visual on all models of car. Occasionally, when I turn the ignition key to start the engine on my 1.1 manual Passion for a brief moment a large vertical key symbol appears between the mile-ometer and the digital clock (where the gear indicator symbol would be on a soft touch). Any ideas/thoughts?
Cheers.

Ah, that would make sense JJ. So if the key cannot disable the immobiliser then that symbol shows? Hmm.

I did look and on page 1-43 it said 'Only vehicles with automated manual transmission (softouch plus)'. So I was just curious... that's all!
