What Do These Buttons Do?

[neilnicholson]

Hi there.

 

Just bought secondhand Xantia 1.9 turbo diesel estate 1997. Don't know what 12 buttons are for (in front of gear lever) numbers 1 to 0 plus 2 letters plus red and green lights. Purchased handbook from local main dealer at cost of £15.00 !!!!!!! Customer services at head office DO NOT SUPPLY ONE FREE OF CHARGE after reading in forum that they do!!

The handbook says NOTHING about what these buttons do or even what they are.

Can someone tell me what these are and what they do please??

They will be the keypad for the immobilizer......i would assume from your post that the vehicle is running without these connected.

 

if the vehicle is starting ok

 

*********** DO NOT RECONNECT THE IMMOBILIZER***************

 

The moment you reconnect the imobilizer the computers will start to immobilize......and if you dont have the code you will need to spend a lot of money to sort it out.

Thanks a lot for your help.I certainly will not reconnect it as I am beginning to learn about all the things that go wrong with citroens.At the moment the car is lying in a deep pool of hydraulic fluid as it has all leaked out from I think the power steering pump!! (Please see my other request for help and if you have any ideas I would be very grateful)Nearly ran into kerb at roundabout as steering failed and needed arm muscles like Mr Universe to turn the wheels.

 

Again thanks for your help
